Last weekend’s devastating flooding in the Mid-South has hit Nashville particularly hard.

It may be a very long time before the city and its residents fully recover from the astonishing floods that struck Nashville. In the meantime, a lot of people need a lot of help.

Attorneys and staff members of the Shuttleworth Williams Nashville office have pitched in to help one family recover from the flood.    This week the Shuttleworth Williams team helped a Nashville School of Law student and his family remove carpet and drywall from their flooded home.

There are many ways to help out victims of the flood.  If you want to volunteer your time, you can contact Hand On Nashville.  Among the organizations taking monetary donations to assist in flood relief is the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Shuttleworth Williams attorneys John Cannon and Abby Webb were highlighted in this article in the Memphis Commercial Appeal for their efforts with the Shelby County High School Mock Trial Competition.  Abby serves on the Board of the Young Lawyers’ Division of the Memphis Bar Association, which organizes the annual competition.  John was one of the judges of the finals, which saw St. Mary’s take first place and White Station High School garner second place honors.

Other Shuttleworth Williams attorneys who assisted in the judging during the competition include Ed Curry, Amy Hickerson, Joe Leibovich, and Robert Talley.

Shuttleworth Williams is pleased to welcome Amy Hickerson as the newest associate to the firm. Amy has a distinguished academic background and served as a judicial law clerk to Magistrate Judge Diane K. Vescovo of the United States District Court for the Western Division of Tennessee.
