About

Life has transitions.  An aging loved-one unable to care for themselves.  A serious injury.  A criminal charge.  A divorce.    Many transitions like these can be frightening.  Regardless of these transitions or their circumstances, it's important to realize that transitions are not always signs of failure.  Instead, transitions are often opportunities for growth.  I've seen this every day in my client's lives, as I've seen my clients become better fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and citizens while facing the harrowing challenges that a legal matter can bring.  Seeing loved-ones navigate life's transitions and overcome obstacles is part of what inspired me to become an attorney. I grew up in East Tennessee, and aside from a quick law school semester studying International Law in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I have always lived in East Tennessee.  I went to Morristown East High, where I served as president of my class.  I graduated With Highest Honors and enrolled at the University of Tenessee on a full-tuition scholarship.  I was a four-year member of the University's Honors Program and majored in Public Administration.  I completed my required Senior Honors Project on the subject of Special Education Law.  I graduated With Honors with a B.S. in Business Administration and was admitted to the University of Tennessee College of Law.  At UT Law, I participated in coursework covering advocacy and trial work,  business issues, estate planning, criminal sentencing issues, education law, administrative law, and numberous other important fields of law.  I earned scholarships for dedication to public service and international study.  I was honored to serve as an editor of the Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy.  During my third year, I studied both International Trade Law and Comparative Corporate Governance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in a program with students from several prestigious law schools.  I also represented Knoxville-area citizens in their court cases under special licensure as a Student Attorney in the UT Legal Clinic, which has routinely been ranked as one of the top clinical legal training programs in the U.S.  Upon passing the bar, I went to work at a firm in Upper East Tennessee while residing in the Morristown Area.  I decided after a year that I would be better able to serve clients in my own practice in Morristown, so I founded my firm in 2010 with a focus on being accessible and client-centered.  I have handled approximately 600-800 cases since 2009.  To date, I have practiced in at least 18 East Tennessee counties in 7 judicial districts and have handled several cases in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in both the Knoxville and Greeneville Divisions. I have also practiced in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. Service to the public and profession is a priority that I've honored by helping found and manage Hamblen County's free Legal Clinic and serving as a member of the Tennesssee Bar Association's House of Delegates.  I have also served as a member of the Board of Directors for Legal Aid of East Tennessee.  In 2012 I was elected by the Rutledge, Tennessee Board of Mayor and Alderman to serve as City Attorney. Law is about more than what gets put in the law books. I've honestly learned most of what I know about law from my seeing how my clients handle their transitions, because I've seen how law affects them and their families.  This experience has allowed me to become more observant and understanding, and, in turn, has made me a better advocate for my clients. If I can assist you during a time of need, please contact me.

Mr Chapman has managed both my divorce and my Will/POA. I’m impressed with his knowledge and wit, but more importantly, his personality. He’s kind and sympathetic, yet a strong representative. I definitely plan on having him handle any other legal matters for me in the future. Highly recommend!

Aaron is nothing short of amazing. He is incredibly compassionate, fierce, intelligent and truly cares about you when he takes you on as a client and works on your case. Any time I needed his advice, or needed to talk about anything, he was immediately there with answers and support. He guided me through my entire case like an absolute saint. He fought for me, when I felt like nobody else would. I highly recommend him to any parent in NETN. I can't recommend him enough.

Mr. Chapman did an excellent job representing us in an adoption case. He and his staff are very prompt to reply to any questions we had, he worked hard to win our case, and they are very friendly. Would definitely use him again if we needed an attorney

Aaron and his staff were a blessing to me during my divorce proceedings, and I very much appreciated his calm presence as much as I did his legal knowledge. He helped me stay focused and was responsive to my questions, which were many.

Attorney Chapman represented me in a hearing while I was out-of-state participating by telephone.- He did a great job convincing the court that my presence wasn't necessary and presenting the evidence. His office always was very responsive.

In a difficult and unusual divorce and child custody case Aaron Chapman went above and beyond by returning calls in a timely manner, representing the best interest of myself and child, and gave superior representation. I would highly recommend Mr. Chapman

When I went through a divorce a few months ago, I came to see Aaron. The whole process went very well. Aaron does a great job. He was very efficient, and everything was taken care of in a timely manner. He was available to answer questions any time I had a question.. I highly recommend Aaron! Thank you for doing such a great job, during the most difficult times I faced!
