For attorney John Griffith, it’s all about creating relationships. And for the past 13 years, John has relied on his ability to form these important relationships with clients, juries, peers, and the community to help him successfully represent personal injury victims across Middle Tennessee. Starting his career as an insurance claims adjuster, he saw how his decisions could impact people’s lives—positively or negatively—after they’d been seriously injured by someone else’s carelessness. That’s when he began to realize the frustration of working for insurance companies, whose main products are promises in exchange for money—and those promises of coverage were broken far too often.

In 2012, he was selected to attend the prestigious Trial Lawyers College, which is conducted by Gerry Spence, one of the most unbeatable and prestigious lawyers in U.S. history.

The American Association for Justice listed John as one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” in 2008 and 2009. He’s also a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, the Nashville Bar Association, and the American Association for Justic
