John Neal is a different sort of lawyer.  Hard working; diverse; licensed since 1978, broad experience in state and federal courts.  John spent much of his youth with his grandfather, a small town sole practitioner who taught him the ethics and sense of fairness of Atticus Finch.  He was one of the youngest students ever admitted to the University of Tennessee, where he earned a Bachelors of Arts in English, and a J.D. He is an outdoorsman who understands the needs and problems of both businessmen and individuals, whether rich or poor.  Mr. Neal operates a small law firm in West Knoxville, but provides the same services you would expect to find in a much larger group. He frequently travels to other jurisdictions, and invites your inquires no matter where you live in the state of Tennessee. You’ll find Mr. Neal in a cowboy hat more often than a suit…..but you will quickly learn  that he is a dedicated advocate who will fight for every one of your rights.
