A reliable and knowledgeable advocate for our business

Our company retained Rocky King to handle a complex workers' compensation case involving a disputed injury claim. His deep knowledge of Tennessee law, particularly from the employer's perspective, was immediately evident. He efficiently gathered evidence, managed the medical record review, and provided clear, strategic counsel that led to a favorable settlement. We specifically sought him out after seeing his recognition in the field, and his expertise lived up to that reputation. While his communication is always thorough, there were a couple of instances where we had to follow up for status updates, as his caseload seems quite heavy. Overall, Rocky is a sharp, pragmatic attorney at a respected firm who we trust with our most sensitive employment matters.
