Loving your law practice means accepting all its different sides. This CLE on Thursday will help you tackle a number of practice management challenges. Topics include how to protect yourself when moving from one firm to another, making the decision to retire, how to make a move to an in-house position, keeping up with current technology, and using social media for marketing and winning cases. The program will run from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Central time on Valentines Day. Choose between the live program at the Tennessee Bar Center or a live webcast of the seminar.
The building that housed the Maryville law firm of Gribble, Carpenter & Associates burned in a fire last week, and the firm -- comprised of William (Billy) Gribble, Charles Carpenter, Keith Edmiston, Stanley Barnett, Alan Waller and Casey Daganhardt -- have reopened the office at 118 Parliament Dr., Maryville 37804. Donations of law books, especially the Tennessee Practice Series, and other resources like Raybin on Criminal Procedure or Garrett on Divorce, are needed. Contact Billy Gribble at blountlaw@yahoo.com or 865-936-3060 if you can help. Members of the firm say they have already received much support, which they appreciate very much. They are still actively handling cases and will be working over the next few weeks to reconstruct client files.
