Paul E. Tennison

A skilled and dedicated advocate in a complex case

Our medical practice was facing a serious and emotionally charged malpractice lawsuit. The allegations were daunting, and we needed counsel who was not only legally sharp but also understood the medical intricacies involved. Paul Tennison at Fields Howell was recommended to us, and his reputation in the defense of medical professionals was immediately evident. From our first meeting in his Nashville office, he demonstrated a methodical command of the facts and a clear strategy. His background, including the recognition from Best Lawyers in Medical Malpractice Law - Defendants, wasn't just a line on a profile; it translated into a confident, nuanced defense that respected the clinical realities of our case. He successfully navigated us through discovery and towards a very favorable settlement before trial, saving immense time and stress. His communication was thorough when we spoke, though there were occasional periods where responses to non-urgent emails took a bit longer than expected, which is my only minor note in an otherwise excellent experience. I have full confidence in Paul's abilities and would not hesitate to engage him again for any professional liability matter.
