Our nationally-recognized attorneys, with more than 100 years of combined experience, have recovered millions and millions of dollars for residents of Memphis and all of Tennessee. Why the emphasis on "recovered"? Because a lot of injury attorneys will go to trial against an unrepresented party who has no assets or insurance and get a big jury verdict. But because the at-fault party does not have any assets or insurance, the injured client never sees a penny of that big verdict. And even though the injury lawyer put zero money in the client's pocket, the lawyer will still use the big judgment on their website or other marketing materials to make themselves look more successful than they truly have been.
Our Definition of Success
At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. a big judgment means nothing to us unless it puts money in our client's pocket. So when we tout our judgments and settlements, you can rest assured the money was actually recovered for our client as opposed to just being a number on an uncollectible jury verdict.
How To Hire The Right Lawyer for Your Injury Case
So if some lawyers are inflating their successes, how do you know which lawyer to hire to help you in your personal injury or wrongful death case? Here are just a few questions you should ask:
1. Is the attorney certified as a specialist? There are more than 23,000 licensed attorneys in the State of Tennessee, but just a small fraction have been certified as specialists.

3. What do past clients have to say about the lawyer and firm? At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. we are immensely proud of the relationship we have with our clients. We encourage you to review our client testimonials.
4. Does the lawyer or firm know the law applicable to your case? When we say John Day wrote the book on injury law, we mean it. Actually, John has written several books on injury and trial law, and you can see them here.
5. Is the attorney well-respected in the legal community? We have been privileged to receive a tremendous number of awards and honors.
6. And, does the attorney know how to get results? As we said earlier, our definition of a win means we got the maximum recovery reasonably possible for our client. So, take a moment and review just some of our recent successes.
