For Attorneys

Sevier County, Tennessee (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville) is a resort and vacation destination, so naturally a substantial number of individuals and businesses engaged in activity here (business or pleasure) are domiciled elsewhere, often out of state. Mr. Mansfield routinely works with out of state counsel in a variety of legal matters, including personal injury, collections, real estate litigation and probate matters. This includes serving as co-counsel, local counsel or straight referrals. Bottom line, a great number of our clients come from referring counsel in other jurisdictions and we would appreciate the opportunity to work with you and your clients. And, if we cannot help you, we will assist in finding someone who can.

A note from Mr. Mansfield to out-of-state counsel: Please be alert that Tennessee has one of the shortest statute of limitations for personal injury claims in the country. That limitation is one year from when the accident occurred or accrued. The exceptions are very narrow. There are also special limitations on governmental tort claims, prefiling requisites on medical malpractice claims and statutes of repose on construction and products claims. More than once I have been called a day too late by out of state counsel, so please just be alert. ~Brian M.
