Client Testimonials

“I have had 2 bad wrecks in the last 12 months, neither of which was my fault. John handled both of these cases for me and he is excellent. Not only did he do a great job, he (and Bethany) took a personal interest in me and made me feel like I was his most important client. I consider John more than just another good lawyer, he is a good friend. Thanks John!”

Client Review of GriffithLaw Jenna Benji Cowart "I am so glad I made the decision to hand over my accident to John. I was so stressed out about the whole situation and I just wanted someone else to fight the battles for me. Everything was handled perfectly and if there were any delays they came from the insurance adjuster , not from John. Overall it was handled in a timely manner and if it weren't for him I would have taken whatever the adjuster offered me. I learned so much in the process and I'm so grateful!!!"   Written by: Jenna Benji Cowart about GriffithLaw Date published: 04/18/2017 5/5stars Overall rating: ★★★★★ 5based on 1 reviews

Jenna Benji Cowart - Franklin, TN

"John was a life saver for me. I was hurt badly in a head on crash and had hired another attorney at first who wasted 2 years by doing nothing. I was extremely frustrated.  I was referred to John by someone who had used him and spoke very highly of him.  John made an immediate difference.  He jumped in head first to help me and pushed the insurance company hard and they immediately wanted to mediate the case. I finally felt like we had the power to call the shots with the insurance company. John and his employees were very efficient and friendly with all my needs and questions. I am very pleased with my settlement. Thank you so much!!!!"

"I was in a head on crash and my neck was broken.   It was the most painful injury I have ever had, and that is saying something.  I don’t wish that on anyone.  I was not able to work at my job and my income stopped immediately.   I was in a halo (a large uncomfortable metal cage on my head screwed into my skull) that was as painful as my injury was.  I could not sleep in my bed, or even lay down for several months.  I have never had a situation where I could not take care of myself and was totally at the mercy of my caregivers.   I was talking to the other driver’s insurance company about what to do and it was clear that there was not going to be a good ending to my story without me getting some help.  I asked around of who a good lawyer was and I was referred to John.  I was told that he was an ace in court if needed, and was very honest, and did what he said he would do.  I was also told my case would likely settle if I hired him as he is known as a true litigator.   Every bit of that has turned out to be true.  I was able to get an excellent settlement shortly before trial.  John pushed my case and told me exactly what the insurance companies would do and how they would treat me, and all the questions they would (and did) ask me.   He also met my doctor who said he was impressed by John’s ways and knowledge.    After receiving the settlement, I was told I cannot tell anyone how much it was, which I don’t care for anyway as it is my business.  I was able to pay all of my medical bills, and pay off my home, and I do what I still can do, part time now.  I wish I never was in this wreck and pray that none of you have to go through what I have paid for with my health and my life.  I still hurt, and I will forever until I die.  But I know that it would have been worse and I would be in not as good as shape financially if I wasn’t able to get John on my side.  I felt like I had a fighter that was there for me above all else, even above himself.  He and I are friends, I consider him a friend, and I would do anything for him.  He gave his all for me, and I saw him give it, and I would do the same for him.  If you ever need a lawyer who is true blue and won’t stab you in the back, and who will truly beat the shit out of the other lawyers if they are rude to you, then John is your man.  He came down on the other side like a hurricane after they tried to pull some tricks.  It was fun to watch.  Keep after them John… Don’t ever slow down.  Thank you for helping me!"

"GriffithLaw was absolutely terrific for my case!  When I first contacted them, they saw me immediately and did not charge me anything.  After the first few minutes of meeting John and Chris, I knew I was in the right place.  Since I contacted them they took care of me and my children hurt in bad accident.  No worries.  I have already recommended my brother to them who was in a wreck recently and he is very pleased also.   Thank you Chris for doing such a good job for me and my family!"

"I was hit by a drunk driver, in late 2014.  For 4 months I tried to deal with his insurance company alone.   They would not pay for any of my medical bills up front without requiring me to sign a release.  I asked a friend for the best personal injury attorney in Nashville, and was referred to John.   John and his team took my case and did everything exceptionally well.  At mediation, we were able to get a good settlement and I am very happy with the outcome.  I would highly recommend John Griffith and his office to anyone and everyone."

Mindy Bray

"I was very concerned for my wife after she was hurt in a heavy crash.  He was referred to us by someone familiar with services and we are thankful for that.  We felt at ease at our first meeting and were pleased the way he truly listened to us and asked us what our major concerns were.  I would recommend John to anyone who is in an injury situation and needs legal counsel.  Should we need him again, he will be our man."

Brian and Tressa Healey

"I was involved in a crash in Franklin after the other car ran a red light and T-Boned me.   I handed my case over to Chris (Coyne) at GriffithLaw and I just concentrated on trying to heal from my injuries.  This team was so professional, and they made me feel comfortable, like family,  and totally confident in their handling of my case.  Chris was able to get this case resolved at mediation for much more than they initially offered me.  I will always recommend you guys to anyone who is fighting the insurance companies!"

"John's background in working for insurance companies gives him a competitive edge now when it comes to being a lawyer negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of his clients.  He has a friendly team that really cares.  Highly recommend!" Kevin Teets  

I have three active children, all in sports, so we were always on the go.  Very involved in our church.  We were always going some where, doing something, until the day the accident occurred. On December 17, 2007, Kelly came by and brought me lunch.  We had lunch in the parking lot and had a great day. I dropped him off at the guard shack as always, told him bye.  I pulled up to the red light and as I got ready to pull out the gentlemen in the dump truck ran the red light and hit me in my drivers side door. I heard this horrific crash out front and I immediately knew it was her.  It just hit me, I knew it was her. The next thing I remember was a gentleman at my side, at the door and I remember telling him that my husband worked there at Peterbuilt. I did my best to comfort her at the scene as they were cutting her out with the jaws of life, I was holding her hand and telling her everything was going to be okay. My head was pounding and I remember thinking it couldn't hurt any worse.  I felt like it was going to explode.  From the point of them cutting me out of the vehicle, I was transported by ambulance to Vanderbuilt.   I had multiple breaks to my pelvis, a hip fracture, my ribs were broke, I had a laceration to the back of my head, my earlobe had been severed and I had a concussion.  After I was released from the hospital, when I got home, for about 3 to 4 weeks I was laying flat on my back.  I literally couldn't get up to go to the restroom without my husband physically picking me up and taking me.  From there I actually was able to get into a wheelchair and I was in a wheelchair for about 3 to 4 months. After a lengthy recovery, Kelly was eventually able to walk again.  She still has problems today with her memory, headaches, back pain, hip pain, her legs hurt.  She is just constantly in pain.  Because we had to bring a lawsuit in this case, I felt like we were the ones who were under attack by the insurance company as if we were the ones who caused these problems ourselves. We learned through depositions that the driver believed that he was only driving 5 to 10 miles per hour at the time of the impact.  We were able to obtain a video of the accident and later determined that he was driving approximately 45 mph. During the trial some things came out, the truth came out about this insurance company's tactics and the way that they treated my wife. They hired a court room doctor to say I was a liar, a fraud and a cheat.  On August the 28th, 2011 we began a 5 day jury trial where the jury came back with a verdict in our favor. I feel like now that we can put this chapter behind us with this trial completed and we can move on with our lives and try to forget about what has happened.  Not only through the process of this trial did John help us along the way but I feel like we have gained a friend through this and he has been a friend to us through the whole thing. I am thankful for this to be behind me, I am ready to move forward and to be able to spend the time and focus on my family.  I am ready for a new beginning and a new journey.
