Clint Kelly | Hendersonville Medical Malpractice Lawyer

PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE AND WATCH MY VIDEOS AT WWW.KELLYFIRM.NET.  I am an attorney on NewsChannel 5 in Nashville and on NewsChannel 5+ "Morning Line" show with Nick Beres.  I have been fascinated with medical issues ever since my first medical malpractice case.  These cases involve the best lawyers in town fighting with uncommon vigor and commitment.  I have never handled an easy or routine medical malpractice case.  There is no such thing.  Even when the liability seems obvious, creative lawyers for health care providers raise tough defenses.  The skill and reputation of the defense lawyers drives me to work harder and be more prepared in these cases.  The patient’s catastrophic injuries patients add pressure to the trials.  I have an enduring passion for these cases.  This is why medical malpractice constitutes about 90% of my practice.  This is why I obtained certification as a medical malpractice specialist. I have won and settled over $30,000,000 for clients in my career.  I love what I do. I wrote a book called KELLY ON MALPRACTICE 2.0 because there is no other text devoted to medical malpractice litigation in Tennessee.  I wrote this book for lawyers, judges, clients, and interested members of the public as a reference.  This book contains my opinions about medical malpractice law in Tennessee.  Here are the beatitudes for my law firm:

Be EXCELLENT         To seek justice for our clients no matter what.

Be HONORABLE        To maintain our integrity as officers of the court.

Be DETERMINED        To search for the truth wherever it leads.

Be EFFICIENT                To simplify the case and not waste time.

Be PROUD                To help our clients get justice in difficult economic times.

Be HELPFUL                To our staff and clients because success is a team effort.

Be JOYFUL                To win our client’s trust, satisfaction, and deep appreciation.

Be RESPECTFUL        To everyone because disrespect is a cancer.

Be DILIGENT                To keep our eyes on the prize when our opponents distract.

Be HEARD                To communicate regularly with our clients.

Be PATIENT                So we don’t sweat the small stuff.

Be HAPPY                To accept adversity because it makes us stronger.

Be FLEXIBLE                To embrace technology because it gives us an edge.

Be PROACTIVE        To move cases promptly toward settlement or trial.
