It was an exciting time to open a law practice in Rutherford
County, Tennessee, in the early 1980’s. Nissan had just opened its doors
in Smyrna, and the entire face of Rutherford County was destined to
change dramatically. New people moved in, new jobs were created, new
businesses opened their doors, and opportunities abounded for everyone.
Real estate sales and new home construction skyrocketed. Smyrna grew
quickly, and Murfreesboro was converted from a sleepy little suburb of
Nashville to a vital and energetic city all its own.
That transformation continues today even in the face of the
economic realities, and we at Blankenship, Blankenship & Hagan,
PLLC, are prepared now, as then, to help our clients find the
opportunities that are available to them and to protect their rights
and inform them of their responsibilities as they pursue these
opportunities. Even now, as then, good, solid legal advice is an
invaluable asset to any individual or business trying to negotiate
these uncharted waters. Opportunities still abound, and we see it as
our job to help our clients find, appreciate and understand the
opportunities that are available to them while ensuring that they
have met all their legal obligations and requirements.
And when our clients’ rights have been thwarted or their
opportunities challenged, we see it as our legal duty to help set
things right again. If at all possible, we will help set things
right without the necessity of conflict and litigation. We will use
all our negotiating skills and our thirty years of experience to
help resolve conflict amicably between the parties because as a
general rule, that is in the best interest of everyone involved. But
when litigation is necessary, our lawyers are prepared, experienced,
and ready to work hard to protect our clients’ rights.
John Blankenship’s
favorite quote is:
"Nothing in the
world can take the place of persistence....Persistence and
determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and
always will solve the problems of the human race."
~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
American statesman (30th US president: 1923-9)
And our firm practices this philosophy. We
will represent our clients persistently and with determination until
their legal matters have been resolved, and we will do everything in
our power to see that those matters have been resolved to the
satisfaction of our clients. We of course can make no guarantee as
to outcome—there can be no guarantees when other people, their
points of view, judges, and juries are involved—but we can guarantee
that we will represent you to the very best of our ability, putting
our education, our experience, and our determination to work for
you.
