The Terry Law Firm has again received Regional Tier 1 "Best Law Firm" honors in the personal injury litigation practice area for the Knoxville metro area in the most recent edition of a prestigious publication compiled by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers®. This recognition matters because it provides a reliable, peer-reviewed benchmark for individuals seeking legal representation during vulnerable times, particularly in personal injury cases where outcomes significantly affect lives and financial stability.
The nation's oldest peer-reviewed legal publication company U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers® listed The Terry Law Firm in its 2026 "Best Law Firms" rankings. The rankings identify professional excellence from among the nation's most elite law firms. For consumers, this distinction serves as an important filter in a crowded legal marketplace, indicating a firm has met rigorous standards based on millions of peer evaluations rather than mere advertising claims.
Earlier this year, attorney F. Braxton "Brack" Terry was named Lawyer of the Year in the Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs category for Knoxville. Brack Terry and Denise S. Terry each received individual recognition in Best Lawyers® 2026 in the category of Personal Injury – Plaintiffs. This dual recognition of both the firm and its attorneys underscores a consistent level of expertise that can impact case outcomes for clients navigating complex injury claims.
To be eligible for the "Best Law Firm" rankings, a law firm must have at least one attorney recognized in the current edition of Best Lawyers for a practice area and metropolitan area ranked in "Best Law Firms." Organizers said the research team arrived at the rankings after analyzing 26 million evaluations of more than 129,000 lawyers from more than 24,000 firms. The scale of this research provides credibility to the honor, suggesting it reflects broad professional consensus rather than limited opinion.
The implications of this announcement extend to the legal industry in East Tennessee, potentially influencing where individuals and referring attorneys direct serious personal injury cases. For the public, such rankings offer a data point for making informed decisions during stressful circumstances when objective quality assessment is difficult. The firm maintains multiple locations serving the region, including in Morristown, Greeneville, Sevierville, and Johnson City. More information is available at https://www.terry-lawfirm.com/.
