opened my office as a sole practitioner in 1989 after working several years as the bankruptcy attorney for Bart Durham. In 1990, I was appointed as a Chapter 7 Trustee and served as a Trustee for two years. I then resigned in order to concentrate on representing debtors in bankruptcy. I am board certified as a specialist in consumer bankruptcy law in August 1994, one of the first lawyers in Tennessee to achieve this certification.
The focus of this law firm is filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases on behalf of working people and small businesses in the middle Tennessee area.
Example cases
Received a call from a client one morning about 9:00 or 9:30. He indicated that a real estate agent just knocked on his door and indicated the house was to be sold at foreclosure sale at 2:00 that afternoon and she wanted to see the house prior to the sale. He had no notice of the sale and he panicked. He called me. "Can you stop the foreclosure", he asked? I said that I could if he could get enough information together and be in my office no later than noon. He and his wife were in at about 12:15. We had enough paperwork prepared by 1:00 to file with the bankruptcy court. It was filed, we called the foreclosure attorney, and the sale was stopped. As of, November 2010, these clients are still in Chapter 13 and their house is still theirs.
The Middle Tennessee Chapter Association of Legal Administrators began forming in the spring of 1979 when a handful of administrators, soon to be MTALA charter members, met to discuss local law firm salaries and benefits. Nashville, TN skylineDoug Berry, one of those participating in the discussion, stated that he had belonged to the Dallas, Texas, chapter of ALA and planted the seed that would become the MTALA. On November 28, 1979, eight energetic and determined law firm administrators held an organizational meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, to form our chapter. An application for charter was made to the National ALA, who notified members that a meeting was to be held January 20, 1980 to review the application. Nearly a year after the initial discussions had taken place, the National ALA approved our Charter and the MTALA was officially chartered at a special meeting on April 17, 1980.
The MTALA has certainly grown over the years. Starting with an initial membership of 8, the chapter has grown to over 40 members today. More importantly than numbers, the support provided legal administrators in the middle Tennessee and south-central Kentucky area has grown as well. Chapter leaders have provided the vision to take chapter functions from monthly speaker luncheons to include numerous resources to members and the profession. Those include: co-hosting an annual state-wide retreat held in conjunction with the Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga chapters since 2001; hosting a vendor retreat; hosting the 1991 ALA Annual Educational Conference and Exposition held at the Opryland Hotel; providing a $250.00 scholarship to Nashville Tech for a graduating high school student interested in legal secretarial work and a $250.00 scholarship to a 2nd year Nashville Tech student from 1990-1993; presenting several educational seminars; compiling a support staff salary survey since 1981; participating in annual community challenge projects along with the national association since 1999; and supporting the ALA Annual Educational conference and Exposition by paying the registration fee for a first time attendee since 1999. In 2007, the MTALA hosted the Region 2&3 Annual Conference on September 28-29 at the Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
Since 1880, Nashville has enjoyed a significant presence of eloquent and successful black lawyers. Prior to the turn of the twentieth century, ten black lawyers operated part-time and full-time law practices. Among them were D. L. Lapsley, James C. Napier, George Robinson, Z. T. Woods and W. H. Young. Several of these lawyers had been former slaves such as Taylor Ewing, Alfred Menefee, Samuel Lowery and Nelson Walker. Many black lawyers obtained legal training from Howard University School of Law and Central Tennessee College, located in South Nashville.
By the early 1900's the number of black lawyers in Nashville had almost doubled to nineteen. Among the most active and aggressive lawyers was Robert L. Mayfield, a graduate of Howard Law School, who was admitted to the bar in 1900. In 1905, Mr. Mayfield sued the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company for its failure to provide blacks with equal facilities on the train. Though the court admitted the validity of Mr. Mayfield’s charges, the court rejected his claim. The Tennessee Supreme Court refused to review his case on the grounds that the alleged racial discrimination was not harmful to blacks. As a result, black citizens retaliated by boycotting the railway and by forming a black owned and operated street car service. Other black lawyers active in Nashville in the early 1900's included T. G. Abbott, P. W. Adams, James Bumpus, James Bumpus, Jr., Henry Charis, William Crosswaith, James Harris, George Jackson, J. W. Kizer, Joseph Manson, Samuel A. McElwee, who served three terms in the Tennessee General Assembly, Nicholas B. Smith and Thomas J. Turner.
In 1933, since the Nashville Bar Association would not admit black persons into its membership, a group of black lawyers decided to form the James C. Napier Lawyers Association as an affiliate chapter of the National Bar Association, in recognition of the distinguished career of Mr. Napier. The James C. Napier Lawyers Association was interested in intellectual advancement, comradeship among members and the public good. The inaugural president was Walter S. Walker and members included Z. Alexander Looby, J. C. Napier, Robert E. Lillard, R. B. J. Campbell, S. P. Harris, W. D. Hawkins and Coyness Ennix. Many of the members of the James C. Napier Lawyers Association were accomplished lawyers with outstanding legal careers and national reputations.
For example, the man for whom the original association was named, James C. Napier, was a three-term Nashville City Council member. He also served as President William H. Taft’s Register of the United States Treasury from 1911 to 1913. Other prominent members included Z. Alexander Looby, who achieved national acclaim as a trial lawyer and academician, having founded the Kent College of Law in Nashville, and Robert E. Lillard, who was elected twice as President of the National Bar Association. In 1978, the organization was reconstituted and its name changed to the Napier-Looby Bar Association, in memory of Z. Alexander Looby.
Today, the chapter is composed of more than 100 attorneys in Nashville and Davidson County. The Napier-Looby Bar Association is an affiliate chapter of the National Bar Association, the oldest and largest association of attorneys of color in the world. Founded in 1925, the NBA is currently headquartered in Washington, D.C. The association has 88 affiliate chapters and represents over 20,000 lawyers, judges, and law students globally.
