As she tried to deal with the issues on her own, the legal issues only increased her stress. She had never hired an attorney, but knew it was necessary and based on the firm’s reputation, she contacted Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C. When she met members of the firm, she knew immediately who she wanted to hire. “(The Firm) didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear; (but that) this would be a process that would take some time.” The Firm helped her address many aspects that ultimately led to a successful outcome, some of which she never would have been aware of or had even considered. The Firm “really helped me.”

Rob Stooksbury was staring at a legal problem of monumental proportions, a business-related action he would bring against another individual that would be the first East Tennessee RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) case since the fall of the Jake Butcher-led banking empire in the early 1980s.
Rob sat down with Wayne Ritchie at Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C., and asked him to take the case. The complexity, size, and scope were daunting, Rob says, adding that events validated his choice of attorneys.

Complicating matters further was that when the crash occurred Ryan and his wife had a four-month old baby girl. Rather than helping his wife with the new baby, Ryan had to be assisted himself.

Gloria Goad
Gloria Goad had never needed legal help in the past and certainly never expected to be involved in litigation. A civil engineer, unexpected events turned her life upside down.
As she tried to deal with the issues on her own, the legal issues only increased her stress. She had never hired an attorney, but knew it was necessary and based on the firm’s reputation, she contacted Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C. When she met members of the firm, she knew immediately who she wanted to hire. “(The Firm) didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear; (but that) this would be a process that would take some time.” The Firm helped her address many aspects that ultimately led to a successful outcome, some of which she never would have been aware of or had even considered. The Firm “really helped me.”
Gloria said that the attorney with whom she primarily worked “was ethical, honest, and always took the high road; he had my best interests at heart 100 percent of the time. Anytime I had a problem or question I could call, e-mail, and I would get a quick response. If there was going to be a delay in getting back to me someone would call to tell me why.”
Gloria was very pleased with the results obtained for her and says she feels blessed to have hired the Firm.
Rob Stooksbury
RJS Made the Difference in Complex Business Litigation
Rob Stooksbury was staring at a legal problem of monumental proportions, a business-related action he would bring against another individual that would be the first East Tennessee RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) case since the fall of the Jake Butcher-led banking empire in the early 1980s.
Rob sat down with Wayne Ritchie at Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C., and asked him to take the case. The complexity, size, and scope were daunting, Rob says, adding that events validated his choice of attorneys.
“We made attempts to settle, but eventually Wayne said we’d have to sue them. He’s unbelievable in how he works; he’s one of the best multi-taskers and time-management people I’ve ever seen. If he said something was going to be done, it was done.
Rob was awarded a $35 million judgment at trial.
“In court the other side had four or five attorneys, but Wayne was the major leaguer in the room. The difference was so noticeable, and a jury, and especially a judge, picks up on that. Wayne and the firm couldn’t have done a better job.”
Ryan Dobbs
The facts were clear: a driver crossed the road on a curve and plowed head-on into Ryan Dobbs’ car. Twice deployed to Iraq as a member of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, Ryan sustained greater injuries from a careless driver than he’d experienced in a war zone: a broken collarbone; fractured jaw; bruised sternum; damage to his neck muscles and lacerations to his head.
Complicating matters further was that when the crash occurred Ryan and his wife had a four-month old baby girl. Rather than helping his wife with the new baby, Ryan had to be assisted himself.
“Being somewhat naïve in the insurance world I called the other driver’s insurance company and thought it was going to be a smooth process,” Ryan says. “It was obvious in the police report that the other driver crossed the center-lane and hit me head-on.
“I got immediate resistance from the other person’s insurance company,” he says. “They began talking in circles, twisting facts, and so I stepped on the brakes in terms of speaking with them. I knew I was out of my league, so I immediately sought legal help.”
A partner in the architectural firm for which Ryan works recommended Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C.
“I explained my situation and asked if (they) would take the case,” Ryan says. From the start it was obvious the attorney he worked with was “a high-caliber attorney. He’s easygoing and at the same time instills a lot of confidence in you. “
The Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C. office’s environment makes a statement as well, Ryan says.
“It’s a top-flight office; professional, highly organized, but not intimidating. Most people aren’t used to working in that world and don’t have an accurate grasp of legal terms and the legal process, but they help you through it.”
Ryan’s case was settled before going to trial.
“I needed legal help and I went to a firm that exceeded any expectation I had,” he says, “I can’t say enough good things about Ritchie, Johnson & Stovall, P.C.”
