Banking and Finance Law
I work on behalf of a bank in Nashville and have used Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin for about 2 years. I have developed a personal relationship with a couple attorneys there and they are terrific. We received outstanding legal advice along with loan document preparation and closings. My experience which is over 40 years is that this firm is very competent in all specialties of law. They have performed high quality work in most efficient cost-effective way. I have experience with nearly all of the larger law firms in Nashville and find this firm to be the best in quality of work and efficiency. I can most highly recommend this firm!

Commercial Litigation
Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin is a great firm to work with. My main contact, Chris Cardwell, is outstanding and regularly talks me off the ledge when I want to do something stupid. I would recommend them to anyone.

Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law
Rhea Bucy and Linda Knight at Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin came to my attention when we were creditors' attorneys in the same bankruptcy proceeding. They were warm, friendly, polite and collegial from the start, but their knowledge of bankruptcy law and procedure, even of the most complicated issues or procedural matters, was nonpareil. For this reason I sought them out when I had my own creditor's bankruptcy cases that needed more than my solo practitioner, civil litigation mind could handle. Over the ensuing years of my association with them, they have demonstrated that litigation even in the most complex and bitter matters can still be a gentleman's and gentlewoman's profession with the most effective of results. I tell them all the time how lucky I am to have them as my lawyers.

Litigation - Real Estate
Linda Knight at Gullett Sanford Robinson & Martin has represented us for several years with title claim litigation (i.e. easement disputes, bankruptcy, fraudulent foreclosures, forged documents, contract disputes and general fraud). She is always prepared, timely, responsive and very knowledgeable. Whenever there is a problem, she is my first phone call.
