Memphis Personal Injury Lawyer
Overview
"At an early age, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer, and not just any lawyer. I wanted to be a trial lawyer, like my father and grandfather. I am proud of the work I do for my clients. I represent the underdog. I help put the powerless on a level playing field with the powerful. I know that without me, or someone like me, corporations and insurance companies would break the rules and never be held fully accountable for the harm they cause."
- Thomas R. Greer
