This experienced trial advocate has represented many injured victims and defended many businesses wrongly accused. Herron brought the case for a wonderful teenager devastated by negligence and, after a month-long trial, the jury awarded a West Tennessee record $15.2 million. He litigated a wrongful death case on behalf of a close friend’s widow and children and ultimately settled the case for a confidential amount believed to be an area record. On the other hand, Herron recently defended a company falsely accused of wronging a former employee and after a week-long jury trial won a defense verdict. Roy Herron graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin with highest honors. He became a Rotary Scholar at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, achieving first class honors in New Testament. He then earned both a M.Div. and a J.D., becoming one of Vanderbilt University’s first two joint Divinity and Law graduates. Roy was ordained a Methodist minister and admitted to the Tennessee bar.
