About

Having 20 years of experience as a law enforcement officer in Knoxville, Tennessee, I have a unique insight into the defense of individuals who have been charged with DUI, drug offenses, and any other Criminal offense. I know how these cases are put together at the most basic level, and have experience in cases ranging from complex narcotic conspiracies to DUIs to the even most minor criminal offenses. I consider it an honor to help those charged with such offenses and work hard for my clients. That same experience has also given me training as an accident reconstructionist along with real world experience that comes only through actual investigations of serious and fatal traffic crashes. I offer to my personal injury clients that same insight and experience that other lawyers must pay others for...at their client's expense. I've handled hundreds of personal injury cases and get results for my clients.

Second time I have used Mr. Kelly Tanner for legal assistance and in both cases I have been extremely pleased with his professionalism and timely correspondence regarding each case as well his knowledge and litigation skills. Kelly has always been very forth right and candid regarding each situation while setting clear expectations as to how each situation needed to be handled. The first time I contacted Mr. Tanner was regarding a dispute for service charges on a job which had not been done properly at which time without hesitation he reviewed my complaint and was able to get resolution within a month or two while keeping me informed the entire time. Without hesitation I recommend Mr. Tanner and found him to be affordable, knowledgeable and someone that takes pride in representing his client.

I recently contacted Mr. Tanner to assist with two charges involving driving and he was able to get both dismissed! The whole process was the smoothest I've ever had dealing with an attorney. He kept it very professional and straight to the point. I will be recommending any one who needs a reliable attorney to Mr. Tanner. You will not be disappointed!

I hired Kelly Tanner to work on my case. He was very upfront and polite with me. Kelly is extremely easy to communicate with. He answered any and all question I had. He is super easy to get in contact with. My case went exactly as he stated that it would and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Kelly Tanner to anyone needing an excellent lawyer. He is well worth it!

I’ve known Kelly for 15+ yrs and 5 of those yrs he was my partner at KPD. I was fortunate enough to get to work with Kelly on several cases. His work ethic and drive will not be out done and that was evident when my daughter was involved in a traffic accident that wasn’t her fault. He stayed on top of the insurance company and didn’t let the case drag on unnecessarily for months. He kept my daughter informed the entire time and didn’t make decisions unless he consulted with her. Kelly Tanner an outstanding attorney

Mr. Tanner has represented me on several occasions. He has always provided me with great direction and advice. Always getting back to me with information in what seems to amazing time! Has has made me feel welcome and important. Not just like I'm another client that that's coming and going. Always shown me respect! Mr. Tanner works extremely hard on my cases and has always astounded me with the results. I wouldn't recommend anyone but Kelly Tanner! He works hard and treats you like a human being, not a criminal. He never settles for less and makes sure his clients get ALL that they deserve in return! In my opinion, he is the BEST lawyer in all of Knoxville hands down!
