This is our approach for every client and every legal issue.

Helping people when they need help the most is the best part of what I do for a living. It can be hard to face the Social Security system, and it is best to do it with a partner who has been through it with other people thousands of times. Please make sure who ever you hire to help you is a lawyer, is the person who will handle your case, and is not going to hand off your file at the most critical time (when you go to court). I am a lawyer, and if we agree to work together I will handle your case, and I don't hand files off to others to handle when it comes time to go to court.

Both Brent Burks and I are Board Certififed Civil Trial Specialists certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Less than 2% of attorneys have this important certification.  What is unknown to the public is that most claiming to be trial attorneys dont have enough trial time or experience to even submit an application to become board certified.  Question: Do you want someone handling your claim that the insurance company knows is a settler and no threat to its insured?  Do you just rely upon a commercial where one claims to have a track record, but no board certification?  Do you want a law firm that claims to be local, but actually is based in another state?. I am Jay Kennamer.  I have practiced for over 22 years.  According to the 2014 Tennesse Jury Verdict Reporter, I am the only one from the Chattanooga area listed in the "Ten-Year Totals" for trying the most cases during that time period in the whole State of Tennessee.

Attorney Chase Walker is a young attorney full of energy and a desire to help others. Over the years, Chase has seen numerous legal issues arise with various friends and family members and often heard the same two complaints: I can't afford an attorney, and I don't feel like my interests are being fairly represented. Too often, attorneys claim to be client-centered, while simultaneously trying to figure out how they can resolve as many cases as quickly as possible, for the maximum profit, and with the least amount of time and effort possible.. After taking the bar exam, Chase put a lot of thought into what kind of attorney he wanted to be. The answer? An attorney who provides legal services to those who ordinarily could not hire an attorney or get free legal aid and one who truly puts client interests first. He recognizes that, generally, two groups of people are able to obtain legal services: those below 125% poverty who can get free legal aid, and those who are making enough money to afford hundreds or even thousands of dollars in attorney’s fees. He recognizes that there are many hardworking Americans who do not fall into either of these groups but still are in dire need of legal assistance. He also believes that clients’ needs always supersede firm profits. Sometimes this means spending more hours making less money to achieve a just result.. To achieve his goal, Chase started The CW Firm, his own firm where there are two main goals: to provide legal services to hardworking lower and middle-class Americans who could not otherwise get legal help, and to always place people above profits. He does this by charging reasonable legal fees that working-class people can afford, and by always ensuring that the result matches the client’s goals. The CW Firm is a general practice providing a variety of legal services to the greater Chattanooga area. Some areas of practice include Real Estate Law, Business Law, Estate Planning, Personal Injury, and Criminal Defense.
