"As a writer and resident of the Ryman Artist Lofts I am privy to some of the best legal service in the city. I was so excited to meet with Franklin after we spoke on the phone at length about my legal needs. He is kind, attentive and truly passionate about what he does. He also knows his stuff and is interested in applying legal practice to all artistic disciplines. He took my questions, no matter how trivial, seriously and always made me feel as though he was in my corner. Not only did he take the time to draw up a contract I had needed for months yet he also listened to a smaller issue in concerns to copyright infringement with my latest book project. His advice helped remedy the problem quickly and drama-free. It is people like Franklin who have made my time in Nashville not only magical but purposeful as well."
