He is a caring, hard-working lawyer that will represent you or your loved one as if it were the only case he'd be working. His patience and sincerity are one of his many qualities. I would recommend him to everyone I know. Even though I am not from Tennessee I had the pleasure of

Mr. East was helpful with explaining processes that can be confusing when you are not familiar with legal phrasing or possible courses of action.

After struggling through one year of a divorce case and feeling like I was not being fully represented by my old attorney, I called on Mr. East. Mr. East was extremely professional and worked very quickly to get himself up to speed with my case. After only two weeks of preparation we went to trial and Mr. East did an outstanding job representing me. He was very thorough in his attack and arguments and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Brock East.

Hired Attorney

Brock East called my contractor dispute a “slam dunk” during the initial consultation, which led me to hire him and pay a retainer. That turned out to be very misleading. The case dragged on with document requests and a deposition that drove up legal fees. He repeatedly complained that the opposing lawyer was “not playing fair,” even though everything appeared to be within legal boundaries. Instead of adapting, he seemed unable to handle being outmaneuvered. When I questioned the rising costs, he became confrontational—raising his voice and suggesting no one else would help me. In the end, I had to push to drop the case because it was going to cost more than I could recover. The only person who benefited was Brock East, who walked away with about $5,000 while my case remained unresolved. I would not recommend his services.

Run don’t walk. All you have to do is read the case he mentions in his review. He will not put on your evidence. Watch out for his charges. He billed me for numerous things that didn’t happen. For example, he charged me $1,000 for a deposition that he didn’t even attend.
