Our company faced a difficult situation with a senior employee whose performance had severely declined. Daniel Crowell at Barton LLP provided exceptional counsel. His deep knowledge of Tennessee employment law, honed from his Vanderbilt education and focus at the firm, was immediately evident. He walked us through every step, ensuring we had proper documentation and followed all protocols to mitigate legal risk. His recognition in labor and employment law is well-deserved. The process was handled flawlessly, though initial email responses during the first week were sometimes delayed by a day. Overall, his strategic advice was invaluable and gave our leadership team complete confidence during a stressful process.
