Testimonials

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.”

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.

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.
