Hey Ya’ll!

As many of you know, I've taken a step back from taking new cases in solo practice and have been working Of Counsel with my friends at Rogers, Sauceman & Bateman. While I still work on some solo projects, I've shifted my focus towards bettering our community. And that's where I need your help!

I want to update my website with valuable local resources that have made a difference for you or someone you know. Who do you recommend? Why did they help you? I'll personally vet all suggestions to ensure they're currently operating and genuinely helping people.

Just a quick note, this is NOT an open invitation to advertise your business in the comments. If you prefer to maintain your privacy, feel free to send me a private message on Facebook, text me at (423) 813-3344, or email me at [email protected].

DISCLAIMER:
This is not an announcement of the closure of my firm or any changes to your cases. My association with RSB is on a case-by-case basis, and we adhere to all ethical rules when collaborating on cases.

MY PHONE NUMBER REMAINS (423) 813-3344 FOR VOICEMAIL/TEXT. NO LIVE PERSON IS ANSWERING THIS PHONE.

1. If you call this number (423-813-3344), leave a voicemail with detailed information on how I can help and reach you. All my messages are transcribed, and an intern listens to voicemail a few times a week.

2. You can text me at (423) 813- 3344 or (423) 436-8395 (MyCase Text). You will get a faster reply.

3. You can e-mail me at west@wwest@wwestlaw.com or [email protected]. You will get a faster reply than a call & voicemail.

You can send me a fax at (423) 370-1589. I'll respond but I will assume you are a cruise advertisement. Your response will be slower than voicemail, text & email.

JUST DO NOT EXPECT A LIVE PERSON TO ANSWER ANY CALLS.

BELOW ARE SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS FOR THE MOST RECENT INFO AND MORE WAYS TO REACH ME.

I JUST DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your support over the years as I navigated the solo path, but I have decided to cut back on cases and move on to some new adventures.

CURRENT CLIENTS

No one is currently answering my phones. So, if you call, PLEASE LEAVE A DETAILED VOICEMAIL so that I can return your call promptly.

I can also be reached by text at (423) 813-3344 and (423) 436-8395. Additionally, you can send a message on MyCase or email me at [email protected].

I AM NOT QUITTING THE PRACTICE OF LAW OR DROPPING YOUR CASE. I am just NOT taking new cases.

POTENTIAL CLIENTS:

I’m not taking any new clients as a solo practitioner. I am doing some cases with my friends at Rogers, Sauceman, & Bateman; they can be reached at (423) 745-5674. The paralegals will pair you with the attorney who handles that kind of case; if you want me to be on the case, just let them know.
