I am a severely disabled veteran. I had a surgical implant that was supposed to block pain, but after seven months it made my pain much worse. I live in Knoxville, TN. I contacted his father, Sidney, and he told me to call Chris in Memphis. Chris called me personally later in the day, even after his office was closed. He listened to my story, never cut me off, and after that, we decided together after he explained the letter of the law for medical malpractice that my case would not be able to win. He did not hang up, he listened to me about what happened to me in combat, and was like a close friend. He got me to hang on, as I have some upcoming appointments and procedures. He is a kind, down to earth, caring man. We spoke like we were old friends, and he thanked me for my service to our country (22 years as a Green Beret). He also told me that if I ever needed to just talk or vent, call him. He is an awesome individual who is not just out for money, he really cares about you. I am going to have a pain pump put in in about a month, and I am going to start travelling. I told him I would like to go through Memphis on my way to Louisiana, and I would really like to have lunch with him. He told me he would love to have lunch with me and hear some of my stories. I wish there were more people in the world like him. I would highly recommend him in Memphis, and his father Sidney in Knoxville. He really gave me the hope to hang on. Thank you Chris from the bottom of my heart. I will be in Memphis one day and I will call you ahead of time to fit lunch in to your schedule. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for treating me the way that you did. You are a rare breed nowadays, keep up the good work.

Mr Gilreath offered advice to me when I was at my wits end. He gave me answers that were clear and precise. He spoke to me with respect and was not at all condescending. I would highly recommend him to anyone with legal matters that need responsible, expert attention.

I had a case that took some time. We had to deal with many road blocks from the work comp insurance company and Chris and his staff were wonderful. He stood strong for me and my case and had several obsticals put infront of him. He was easy to talk to, up front and answered any questions I had. I am so happy I had Chris as my lawyer, one great person, man and lawyer, very upstanding!!

Christopher Gilreath is not dedicated to his clients. Chris informed me 3 years into my automobile accident that he could no longer represent me because "the opposing side is forcing me to withdraw as your attorney ". I really thought I heard him wrong, but he acknowledged that I heard him correctly. Be very aware of his promise to commit to you and represent you with vigor. He gave a very vague explanation that we disagreed on issues. I only heard and spoke with him twice and there wasn't any type of disagreement. I gave him full reign over negotiating my case. He was the attorney (I trusted him to be what he promised). BTW the defendants insurance company had already claimed 80% liability and had already repaired my truck.
