I retained counsel from Tom out of state (more than 2k miles away). He was very clear with regards of the process and on what needed to be done. Likewise, his responses where quick, concise and communicated the critical points of the situation. He also made great suggestions, offered different perspectives while helping resolve the matter quickly and hassle free. I would definitively recommend him for any business related matter.

I hired Tom to help clear up an employment contract dispute with a previous employer. Tom was quick to respond (unlike other lawyers in the area) and was eager to look over the facts regarding my case. Once Tom had a clear understanding of the issue at hand, he explained the options available to me and provided clear expectations of the possible outcomes while simultaneously offering his professional guidance. In the end, Tom was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and helped me reach the outcome I desired in a quick and timely manner. I would recommend Tom's services to anyone needing guidance with regards to employment law and any issues contained within.

I was introduced to Tom Shumate and Meridian Law firm through a mutual friend at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee who connected us based on us being Notre Dame Alumni. ' Meridian Law helped me update my estate planning documents from South Carolina to Tennessee. Tom and the entire Meridian Law Firm were fantastic throughout the process giving me sound advice to accomplish my desired outcomes. Everyone was very professional and went out of their way to finish in a timely manner while accommodating my busy work schedule. Tom personally followed up with me even after we were officially finished to ensure that all of my needs were met. I would definitely recommend Meridian Law without reservation and will certainly engage them for any future needs. TOP NOTCH!

We, unfortunately, have recently finished a lengthy legal process that spread over several years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. When reviewing the final bill, we felt we had been inappropriately billed by a substantial amount. Mr. Shumate reviewed the prior case, explained our options in a very clear way and negotiated with the other attorney, allowing us to avoid arbitration or having to sue, and eventually leading to a very substantial reduction in what we had to pay. His estimates of the hours.he would need to spend and the overall cost were very accurate. He was very responsive to questions. Without a doubt the best experience we have had in dealing with an attorney and we plan to use him for any future legal issues.

I was introduced to Tom Shumate and Meridian Law firm through a mutual friend at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee who connected us based on us being Notre Dame Alumni. ' Meridian Law helped me update my estate planning documents from South Carolina to Tennessee. Tom and the entire Meridian Law Firm were fantastic throughout the process giving me sound advice to accomplish my desired outcomes. Everyone was very professional and went out of their way to finish in a timely manner while accommodating my busy work schedule. Tom personally followed up with me even after we were officially finished to ensure that all of my needs were met. I would definitely recommend Meridian Law without reservation and will certainly engage them for any future needs. TOP NOTCH!

We, unfortunately, have recently finished a lengthy legal process that spread over several years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. When reviewing the final bill, we felt we had been inappropriately billed by a substantial amount. Mr. Shumate reviewed the prior case, explained our options in a very clear way and negotiated with the other attorney, allowing us to avoid arbitration or having to sue, and eventually leading to a very substantial reduction in what we had to pay. His estimates of the hours.he would need to spend and the overall cost were very accurate. He was very responsive to questions. Without a doubt the best experience we have had in dealing with an attorney and we plan to use him for any future legal issues.

We, unfortunately, have recently finished a lengthy legal process that spread over several years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. When reviewing the final bill, we felt we had been inappropriately billed by a substantial amount. Mr. Shumate reviewed the prior case, explained our options in a very clear way and negotiated with the other attorney, allowing us to avoid arbitration or having to sue, and eventually leading to a very substantial reduction in what we had to pay. His estimates of the hours.he would need to spend and the overall cost were very accurate. He was very responsive to questions. Without a doubt the best experience we have had in dealing with an attorney and we plan to use him for any future legal issues.

I retained counsel from Tom out of state (more than 2k miles away). He was very clear with regards of the process and on what needed to be done. Likewise, his responses where quick, concise and communicated the critical points of the situation. He also made great suggestions, offered different perspectives while helping resolve the matter quickly and hassle free. I would definitively recommend him for any business related matter.

I hired Tom to help clear up an employment contract dispute with a previous employer. Tom was quick to respond (unlike other lawyers in the area) and was eager to look over the facts regarding my case. Once Tom had a clear understanding of the issue at hand, he explained the options available to me and provided clear expectations of the possible outcomes while simultaneously offering his professional guidance. In the end, Tom was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and helped me reach the outcome I desired in a quick and timely manner. I would recommend Tom's services to anyone needing guidance with regards to employment law and any issues contained within.

Tom and the entire Meridian Law Firm were fantastic throughout the process giving me sound advice to accomplish my desired outcomes. Everyone was very professional and went out of their way to finish in a timely manner while accommodating my busy work schedule. Tom personally followed up with me even after we were officially finished to ensure that all of my needs were met. I would definitely recommend Meridian Law without reservation and will certainly engage them for any future needs. TOP NOTCH!
