Jeffrey S. Rosenblum concentrates his legal practice in the areas of wrongful death, catastrophic injury and medical malpractice. Jeff has served as lead counsel in numerous personal injury and medical malpractice jury trials and has successfully argued cases before both the state and federal appellate courts. Jeff has prevailed in some high profile cases such as a recent matter where he obtained an $8.5 million verdict in a medical malpractice case in which the defense refused to make any settlement offer prior to trial. He has also obtained numerous verdicts for his clients and has recovered tens of millions of dollars in settlements throughout the years. As his reputation as a premier trial lawyer has grown, Jeff has been able to settle multi-million dollar cases without even having to file suit, which has allowed him to obtain fair compensation to individuals and families without requiring them to wait for the timely litigation process to complete itself. However, it is Jeff's reputation as a trial lawyer that is willing to actually go to trial in all of his cases that allows him to obtain fair settlements early on for his clients. It is Jeff's belief that a defendent will never offer a fair settlement amount unless he/she knows that the plaintiffs lawyer is willing and able to try the case to a verdict. Jeff is one of only a few lawyers in the Memphis area that is a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, signifying his repeated verdicts and/or settlements over $2,000,000..

Jeff then practiced with a 500 person law firm in Dallas, Texas before returning to Memphis, Tennessee in 1993 to focus on catastrophic injury and individual rights law. To this day, he remains licensed in both Tennessee and Texas.. He is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Association, the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, the Memphis Bar Association, the Tennessee Bar Association and the American Bar Association.

I began my practice with Thomason Hendrix right out of law school.  At that time, I handled insurance defense, some domestic cases, and medical malpractice defense.  I stayed home for eleven years to raise my children and returned to Thomason Hendrix in 2004 in a part-time capacity.  My practice is part of a team approach in which I focus solely on defending physicians who have been sued in healthcare liability actions.  My role is to obtain and work with physician experts who will support the defense of the case, to be a liaison with our defendant physician,  to work on discovery and other motions, to work with my team in preparing the case for trial, and to provide office support while my team is in court on the case.  In 2013, Thomason Hendrix merged with Lewis King and became Lewis Thomason and I have continued my practice in this statewide firm.

I am passionate about seeing people treated fairly.  I earned my stripes on some of the toughest cases in Memphis. There is almost no new situation to me in a criminal case in Memphis.  Criminal Defense attorneys work more in court than almost any other types of lawyers under impossible circumstances.  What is truly important to get results in this business is treating your peers - including opponents and prosecutors - with respect.  I know that my behavior reflects on my clients, and I never forget that.. Transitioning to a civil courtroom gives an experienced criminal defense litigator a whole set of extra tools at his disposal. Family law requires a sense of what is important outside the courtroom. How does a broken family move forward? By getting it right the first time so that everyone can move on to start their new lives.
