Mr. Tidwell has represented me on various legal matters for the last 25 years. He has always been professional, available when I need to talk to him and has been very clear and explained things in the legal system I did not understand so I could understand why something had to be done a specific way. I would recommend Mr. Tidwells services to anyone who needs a competent and understanding lawyer.

Mr. Tidwell has represented me more than once unfortunately. Unfortunate that I needed an attorney. Mr. Tidwell has always been prompt in returning any calls wether it be personally or a staff member that’s familiar with my case(s). He keeps me updated on any and all movement / decisions related to my case(s) via email and those coorespondences are very thorough and concise, too the point. He makes you feel comfortable in the process while making no false promises about the outcome , he clearly lays out the hurdles and advantages you may have in your case. I would recommend Mr. Tidwell to any close friends / relatives that may have an unfortunate need for representation.

I learned early in life that should I ever need a doctor, an attorney, a real estate agent…ALWAYS hire the best. Jerry Tidwell is in that best category of attorneys in the Chattanooga area. His knowledge of the law, listening, critical thinking, and, ultimately, providing counsel to clients is exactly what he provides. And, his reputation in the Chattanooga community is well known and extremely respected. I highly recommend Jerry Tidwell.

Mr. Tidwell and his entire staff welcomed my case with enthusiasm and worked through it with precision and dedication. He supported me in a way that made me feel like much more than a client. He was honest and thoughtful with every interaction from the initial consultation through the resolution of the case in 2017 and currently. He represented himself and organization with class and professionalism.

I was struck by a pickup truck in a pedestrian walkway. I hired Mr. Tidwell to take my liability case. He has been professional, and has kept me informed every step of the way. He is in the process of working on a settlement at this time.

I have consulted Mr. Tidwell on various occasions over the years. He is always professional, astute, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. I recommend him to other people often and will continue to do so.

Mr. Tidwell’s work is not only efficient. He makes a difficult challenge seem reasonable. He offers options & excellent opinions with experience to back them up. He makes you feel as if you are his only client. While the costs of litigation & legal fees are high, Mr. Tidwell’s rates are reasonable in comparison to competitors and due to the fact that he moves with cautious speed. I refer him to friends & colleagues - all have been thrilled with his work & would contact him again if needed.

Mr. Tidwell is the the definition of a professional. He executes his work as a true experienced attorney should. Mr. Tidwell is very deilgent and precise when it comes to his cases. His work ethic displays both integrity and compassion. I highly stand by my choice of selecting Mr. Tidwell to represent me and the choice to recommend him to others.
