Testimonials

  • “McClanahan [Law was] such a godsend for me. I initially contacted Matt for advice, and decided to retain him because I believed he was an honest man and would fight for me. And he exceeded those expectations! He is easy to talk to, and most importantly, easy to get in contact with. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone, he really took the stress out of my life and handled my case exactly how I’d hoped.”

    -Danielle

  • “At the end of May, I was stopped in Knoxville for driving in the left lane while passing traffic by the State Trooper. My boss contacted Mr. McClanahan to represent me on my case, and he reached out to me to let me know that he was handling my case and if I had any questions to contact him. I reached out to him on one occasion, and I let him handle everything else after that. About two weeks later I got an email letting me know that my case was dismissed. I’m so thankful for Mr. McClanahan. Because of him, my record is still clean and kept point from going on my CDL score. I would recommend anyone to him. Again, thank you Mr. McClanahan. God bless you and your company. You’re going to expand and succeed greatly.”

    - Isaac Pulliam

    - Gabriel Cook

  • “I got a driving ticket for speeding and driver to exercise due care. The law firm was able to get me driver's school for the exercise due care charge, and I paid the court costs and the speeding fine. The exercise due care charge is a class C misdemeanor, so I really appreciate the work the law firm did on my behalf. I whole heartedly recommend them.”

    - Stefania Payares

  • “I am an attorney myself hence my review is from a place of gratitude. I contacted the firm to represent me in a traffic case. They were very prompt in responding, very professional and frankly, the whole process was so smooth...and I got speak to Mr. McClanahan personally. I got loads of peace of mind from having their representation. I wholeheartedly recommend [McClanahan Law]. The firm deserves 6 stars!”

    - Yomi Faparusi

  • “I retained Matt on a criminal matter for charges that led to my immediate incarceration. Never having been a criminal before that day, I wasn't privy to the plight of an accused felon/ incarcerated inmate. After four days, terrified and convinced of my imminent demise I had a visitor. IT WAS MATT! ON A SATURDAY! I didn't know him from a ham sandwich, but his innately nurturing demeanor immediately made me feel at ease. With all the vulnerability and fear I felt, he was nonjudgemental and uncritical and when uncomfortable things needed to be said, he was tactful and considerate in their delivery. It is undoubtedly his purpose to make the world a better place by being of service to others, as an attorney, one case at a time!”
