Example Cases

Our team has significant courtroom experience and has obtained several substantial verdicts, including one for $6,200,000, which is believed to be the largest verdict ever obtained in Sumner County, Tennessee.

Additionally, in a confidential settlement, Mr. Williams successfully represented the family of a victim of the Comair crash in Kentucky.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Our website, wwww.keithwilliamslawgroup.com, offers a list of frequently asked questions many people have regarding a wide array of legal issues. Any questions a client might have about any legal issues could most likely be answered there. If there is no sufficient answer on the website, our team is always willing to answer any questions a client has.

Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?

Yes

Are your attorneys willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

Personal injury and death cases usually involve parties who are represented by insurance companies and lawyers hired by insurance companies. It is also important to understand that insurers always employ the services of expert lawyers who seek to avoid responsibility or at least minimize the payments that will be made to the victims and families. In contrast, our duty is to identify all responsible parties and maximize the compensation that can be obtained. Only established law firms like Keith Williams Law Group have the staying power to investigate complex cases thoroughly and to send a message to the defendants that they will not be able to hide their misconduct from you. Since our lawyers have experience in settling cases and know what juries and judges generally award in a similar case, thus we are able to advise you of the fair value of your case. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney will best protect your rights.

Are your attorneys willing to help a client with one discrete part of a case, without taking on the whole case?

Yes

What are your policies about dividing work among the firm's partners, associates, and paralegals to make the process most cost-effective for the client?

Our firm always keeps the client in mind when considering costs. We figure out the best way to divide the work between the attorneys and paralegals to keep costs to a minimum, but to also ensure the most effective services.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

We use mediation and arbitration frequently, but are never afraid to go to trial.

Does your firm provide pro bono legal services or otherwise participate in your community?

Our company has a long history of supporting our community, from little league sponsorships to charity events to the county fair! We here at Keith Williams Law Group believe that supporting the community, especially those organizations and groups that provide services to others, is the responsibility of any civic minded company.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

In short, knowledge, experience, and commitment. When you come through our doors, we see you as a person with your own personal experiences and stories and needs and we treat you with respect. You are never just a name on a file to us.
