In the inaugural issue of the Trial Spotlight, we pay homage to a star, Leo Bearman Jr., a widely respected and leading trial attorney in Tennessee. Leo started practicing law with his father, Leo Sr., in 1960. Twenty years later, the Leo Bearman Law Firm merged with Heiskell Donelson Adams Williams and Kirsch to expand the latter's services to include litigation. Thirty-eight years after the merger, Leo Bearman remains a highly sought-after attorney, valued by clients and colleagues alike for his considerable wisdom and skill. My name is David Bearman, Leo's son and law partner for the past 22 years. I sat down with Dad to talk about some of his more memorable cases and clients.
