Confidential settlement. • Decorated World War II Veteran failed to receive proper medical treatment from his VA medical care providers. Served as co-counsel in the trial of case wherein United States Federal District Court specifically found that the United States Veterans Administration was negligent and failed to care for its own veteran according to its own motto "to care for him who shall have borne the battle." Ducker v. U.S.A., USDC Case 1:99-cv-082 Eastern District of Tennessee WORKERS' COMPENSATION: • Construction worker suffered fall from roof that resulted in paraplegia. Lifetime medical benefits obtained by court order included attendant in-home nursing care to be provided by spouse and compensated by insurance carrier. Court order obtained also provided funding for the construction of handicapped modified and accessible home for injured worker. DISABILITY: • An individual became disabled from a progressive and debilitating illness that resulted in loss of job and health insurance. The individual was later cut from the state Medicaid rolls as a victim of one of the largest reductions in Medicaid benefits ever by a state government. My office became involved and successfully assisted the client in obtaining disability benefits that allowed the individual to regain access to healthcare and treatment for a serious life altering illness.

Mr. Colvin not only is an excellent attorney he is also a very courageous one in that he had to take on a very large company during my case. He was relentless in his efforts to make sure I was treated fairly. My recovery was a success.

I found him to be one of the most professional and informative attorneys I have ever known. He handled my disability case with caring and concern. I thought I had no chance but he assured me to hang in there, and he won my case for me. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

I found John thru other lawyer's that did not do social security. This was the best information I have got by anyone. John not only got me approved for my benifits but got it back for me in my cession case. Their is no way to explain his determination, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile for someone. If anyone needs a perfessional to get the job done and keep in contact after the job is done.. JOHN is your man if u live anywhere in Tennessee. His services is well worth the drive and fees. Don't go go for second best, get John R Colvin, I garentee you get what you pay for.

Mr. John Colvin is certainly a God send. After being denied for my disability and not knowing how we were going to make ends meet a friend recommended Mr Colvin. I gave him a call, met with him. I must say from the first conversation we had I knew he was sincere and put his clients need first. Within a few months of allowing Mr. Colvin to handle my case I was approved. He's not just a fly by night lawyer. He is truly concerned and gets the job done with such professionalism, yet with that small town friendly caring manner. I greatly recommend Mr Colvin for any legal needs you may need. Thank you Mr Colvin from the bottom of my heart.

Attorney John R. Colvin assisted me in appealing and obtaining Social Security Benefits for my son who was diagnosed with Juvenile Huntington's Disease. Mr. Colvin was very helpful and courteous throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable of disability law and a very compassionate individual. I would highly recommend him to others who need assistance in obtaining disability benefits. His office staff were also professional and courteous.

Mr. Colvin represented me for bankruptcy. He is a very thorough and professional lawyer. I had contacted quite a few lawyers and they all wanted to take several months to complete the bankruptcy. This was not the case with Mr. Colvin. My case was handled quickly and with little frustration on my end. Mr. Colvin also called and checked in with me at several points throughout the case. I could not recommend another lawyer as much as I do Mr. Colvin. He also answers any questions you have and explains the process to you in laymen terms. I would recommend Mr. Colvin to anyone.
