2019 Top Attorneys

2019 Top Attorneys

There are, perhaps, no greater caretakers of the law than those who dedicate their lives to uncovering the intricacies contained in its meaning. They demonstrate an unwavering reverence to the rule of order. They seek to creatively interpret and apply the framework they have been given for the benefit of those they serve. They are attorneys.

As in years past,Cityviewhas once again called upon members of the Knoxville Bar Association to determine which attorneys in our area are the best in their respective fields. In essence, accolade recipients have been rewarded with the respect of their peers.

We have listed each firm alphabetically and included the names of their respective attorneys who have received peer recognition. Additionally, we have indicated the top vote recipients in each discipline with the designation of a Golden Gavel.
