Testimonials:

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Garrett. He is a rock star lawyer.  He handled the quagmire in our subdivision with well–honed skills, tact and finesse.

In over 30 years of public accounting, I have never dealt with a tax attorney whose technical skills are so finely tuned and whose professional demeanor is so perfectly suited for dealing with clients in any type of situation. We have worked together closely on many complicated tax issues from estate planning to entity structuring to exit strategies for shareholders and partners. In each situation, he has comported himself with confidence, true professionalism and brilliant strategic skills. I have watched him enter emotionally charged situations and diffuse them with the assurance and temperance of an individual who possesses great negotiating capabilities. But the highest compliment I can pay to Lee Popkin is that his enthusiasm for strategic teamwork has inspired this 30-year veteran CPA to find joy in her career again.

I have worked in the commercial and real estate banking business in Knoxville, Tennessee for over thirty (30) years, and I have worked with LRW attorneys for most of that time.  They are knowledgeable and experienced in representing lenders in commercial loan transactions, particularly commercial real estate loans.  Dennis Ragsdale is one of the best attorneys in Tennessee for this type of work.  I also have a great working relationship with other LRW attorneys, including David Long and John Waters.  Randy Miller has provided many title policies for the bank and its borrowers.  Complex deals close smoothly and efficiently when these lawyers are involved.  I would feel very confident with LRW handling any loan our bank can make, regardless of type or size.

I have had the pleasure of working with Garrett for the past six years with regards to all my legal issues. In many instances, his quick response to my calls and excellent legal guidance have enabled me to be proactive in avoiding lengthy legal proceedings. Garrett always has time for me, and he is always professional and courteous. Evictions are difficult, costly, stressful and time-consuming. As a result of his legal expertise and effective handling of my evictions, on many occasions the resident will forgo court proceedings. I know that I can always depend on him and consider myself very fortunate to have him working on my behalf.

Garrett has provided invaluable legal services to our company for over 12 years. He understands our business and the role he plays in our success. Garrett has ably prepared contracts, handled commercial collections and provided general legal advice. He knows his way around contracts and, when necessary, the courthouse. Garrett responds quickly to everything from the smallest questions to the most significant legal issues. He tells us the good, the bad and the ugly, and is always ready with a sound recommendation. We really appreciate his knowledge, responsiveness and cost-effectiveness.

I have used Garrett for several years for commercial collections. He is tenacious, but also cost-conscious. Garrett knows the ins and outs of collections, garnishments and levies. He is great at thinking outside the box in difficult cases. He is good about personally responding by telephone and email and good about providing updates. I’m glad I found him!
