Firm Summary
Rob concentrates his practice principally in business and commercial litigation. He has practiced heavily in enforcement of mechanic’s lien rights, banking disputes and creditor rights. Rob has tried approximately 100 civil jury cases in both Tennessee and Georgia over the past twenty years which have been principally in the above-referenced fields and in the personal injury arena. Having worked for almost 20 years in a defense firm gives me a unique perspective of how the case is approached from both the plaintiff and the defendant’s viewpoint, which we believe helps close cases more efficiently. In addition to large litigation cases, Norred still drafts contracts, forms businesses and has developed some expertise in real estate litigation.
During the last 20 years, Rob has written several publications, including “Fair Debt Collection Demand Techniques, Problem Collections in Tennessee”; “Strategies to Consider in Collecting Judgments in Tennessee”; Ethics to Collections”; “Successful Judgment Collections in Tennessee”; and Mechanic’s Lien Enforcement”. Norred has made multiple presentations to credit managers for building supply associations on the Tennessee and Georgia Mechanic’s Lien Act and related real estate transactions.
