Herbert Thornbury, Esquire and his staff work with clients who have personal injury claims including social security, workers’ compensation and accident injuries in Tennessee.

I have been fighting on the behalf of thousands of clients who are disabled and cannot work, or have very serious health problems that make it nearly impossible to simply function without a lot of difficulty for more than twenty years. Often a disability claim is filed as a matter of last resort when a person is out of options.

Whether you are thinking about applying for disability, or have already applied and have been denied, give me a call right away.
