I practice focuses primarily on tax exempt organizations, estate planning and administration, bankruptcy, and tax matters.. I serve on the Boards of Directors of three private foundations and of Bryan College of Dayton, Tennessee.. I also served one term as a member of the House of Delegates of the Tennessee Bar Association and was appointed by President Gerald Ford as a member of the first Board of Directors of the Legal Services Corporation in 1974.

I love helping my clients battle big corporations or massive bureaucracies to get the benefits they deserve, which is why I love working at Eric Buchanan and Associates, where fighting for my clients is what I get to do every single day.. Before joining this firm, I spent my first four years as an attorney in civil litigation, and enjoyed significant success in jury, bench and Claims Commission trials for both claimants and defendants.  I also was privileged to act as lead brief-writer for many appeals, including a successful appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court, which ultimately led to major changes to Tennessee’s insurance law (Allstate Ins. Co. v. Tarrant, 363 S.W.3d 508 (Tenn. 2011)).  I also was heavily involved in several high profile cases involving intricate legal and factual issues and many millions of dollars.. At Eric Buchanan & Associates, I am able to use my litigation background and experience to effectively battle behemoths and win benefits for my clients.  I love the personal character of my disability practice, which lets me watch my work turn directly into immediate and incredibly positive changes for my clients.  I have always known that I am a "crusader" by nature, which is why I like nothing better than battling giants for my clients for my clients every day.. I also enjoy technology (i.e. I have strong nerd tendencies), and I recently learned computer code in order to develop Job Sleuth, an iPhone app for Social Security Disability Practitioners that gives instant and complete access to the Dictionary of Occupational Titles whenever and wherever they have their phone at hand.. In addition to my job, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two girls,  playing hockey, reading, and playing practically any game that involves strategy.  I love my alma mater Bryan College, in Dayton, Tennessee, and while studying there enjoyed playing as a scholarship  pitcher and third baseman.

I have practiced Social Security disability law for the past 21 years and I love what I do.  My practice is a small practice, but it allows me the opportunity to get to know my clients and the specific facts of their case.  I enjoy the one-on-one contact that I am able to have with my clients.  I am certified as a Social Security Disability Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.  I have represented thousands of individuals in disability claims at all levels of the appeal process.  My paralegal has worked with me for the past 17 years and is a great asset to me and my clients.  I strive to give my clients the personal attention that they deserve.

I have practiced law for over two decades in federal and state courts across the Southeast and beyond.  I am blessed to love my clients and my work.  Outside of the office and courtroom, I like to be on my boat with my girls (wife, two daughters and Dolly the cavapoo) aboard.

I have learned over the time I have been a lawyer that good people fall on hard times and make mistakes.  When they do, they need someone who will be there for them to help them out.  I have also learned that law enforcement and the district attorney do not necessarily fill the role most of us were taught they filled when we were growing up.  Abuse of power is rampant, and many in our system have forgotten their role is to seek justice, not exact vengeance.. My education and background has led me to want to help people that make mistakes and protect them from those who want vengeance, not justice.  I enjoy fighting for my clients and making sure I do whatever it takes to legally and ethically protect them and advance thier interests.
