Nashville Legal Help John Jay Clark, Sr.

Today I was interviewed on several nashville radio stations, specifically, 92Q, 97.1 and 99.7 regarding numerous legal issues related to the Nashville Flood. I was impressed by the number of questions that I recieved both on air and by the hosts. Based upon this, I wanted to make a few resources available to people.

What should you do if your home or property was affected by the storm and/or flood?

1. First locate your insurance policy, if you cannot find it, call your insurance company and get a copy as quickly as possible.

2. File a claim even if you dont think it will be covered. Many of the federal grant and relief programs require that you file a claim with your insurance company.

3. File an application for disaster relief with FEMA. Go to www.fema.gov and/or www.disasterassistance.gov. Here you can complete the applications that are necessary to get the process started.

Of course, if you have questions about the numerous forms and documents that need to be completed contact a trusted legal professional to help you through the process. To help find a legal professional to assist you with the process you can go to www.gordonlawgroup.com or to the Nashville Legal Line.

Prior to my case being turned over to John Clark, I was very dissatisfied with my attorney at Gordon Law Firm. I felt as if I were forgotten about after my initial payment for services was given. Afterwards, it was impossible to get a clear answer about any question I had regarding my case. I was even responsible for gathering information to prove I had a case. I did as the attorney requested even though the firm was to aquire a large amount of my settlement if I had a winning case. Approximately two years after my initial contact, I received word that I had been assigned a new attorney. Finally, I could actually feel relief just by the professionalism and the concern in the voice on the other end of the line. My immediate thought was, “Thank God, my prayer has been answered”! Since that day, I have been treated with the utmost respect from my attorney as well as his partners. My introduction with Attorney John Jay Clark, was to say the least, very pleasant.

He apologized for the actions of the previous attorney and assured me that if I chose to allow him to handle my case he would do everything in his power to help me. I feel I am a good judge of character and I immediately felt that John Clark was the man for my case. Attorney John Clark has offered nothing but the greatest concern and help for not only one case, but several cases for me, with two being emergency situations. He is working to resolve a case for me now and has gone to great lengths to see that my best interest is satisfied. And thanks to Kelly, his very courteous and helpful receptionist, my messages and concerns are delivered accurately and I receive either a response from her or a call from my attorney in a timely fashion. I am confident that future legal matters I may have will be met as long as John Clark is serving others with his exceptional legal advice along with his partners. I highly recommend the staff at Gordon Law Group.

Do you need a Will or a Living Trust?

Two of the most popular Estate Planning tools are a Will and a Living Trust.

When choosing which you would like drafted, there are various factors to consider.

A Will costs less to draft but a Living Trust will save your Estate money when you pass away.
A Living Trust is not subject to probate proceedings like a Will but there is no automatic court supervision to deal with disputes.
A Will is public record the moment it is opened for probate while a Living Trust remains private.
With a Living Trust, you are required to title all of your accounts in the name of the trust. You are not required to retitle any of your assets if you have a Will drafted.

These are just a few of the factors to consider when deciding if you need a Living Trust or a Will.
