John Willis grew up in the town of Rogersville, Tennessee watching his father practice law. As he grew up, he learned from his father how much an attorney could help others in the community.. Recalling the lessons learned from his dad about helping people in the community, he joined Fox & Farley in 2005, refocusing his practice exclusively on representing injured parties, and using his experience for victims of wrongdoing. When he isn’t practicing law, John most enjoys spending time and traveling with his young son and wife. On occasion, he sneaks away for some trout fishing or golf.

I have had always had a passion for helping people since I was young. Becoming an attorney allowed me to live my passion everyday.

I am committed to the zealous representation of my clients.  If you want an attorney to fight hard for you, give me a call.
