Firm Overview / Practice Areas

Evans, Jones & Reynolds, P.C. was formed in 1986.

Even before the firm was formed, the founding members had long since been established members of the Bar in Nashville and in Tennessee. Clarence Evans was licensed to practice law in 1942 but immediately reported for active duty in World War II. After serving in the United States Air Force and receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross, he returned to Nashville and began practicing law in 1946. His father, Giles L. Evans, was a practicing lawyer in Tennessee and in Nashville until 1937, when he suffered an untimely death as the result of a sudden illness. Giles L. Evans was President of the Tennessee Bar Association in 1919-1920.

Richard Jones served in the United States Air Force during 1951-1957 and began practicing law in Nashville during 1960. At the time that the firm was formed, Mr. Jones had practiced law in Nashville for more than 26 years.

The other founding members of the firm were Winston Evans, who began practicing law in Nashville during 1978, and Allen Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds began practicing law in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama during 1980. In 1982, he moved to Nashville, where he has practiced law since that time.

Since 1999, the firm has been listed by Martindale-Hubbell in the Bar Register of Pre-Eminent Lawyers. Six of the firm’s 9 lawyers have achieved the rating of “AV,” which is the highest rating that Martindale-Hubbell bestows on individual lawyers.

The firm has formed a nucleus of lawyers with a wide range of skills. For example, Allen Reynolds practices in the areas of federal and state taxation, estate planning, and business transactions. Richard Jones practices primarily in estate/probate, domestic, and real-estate matters. The other members of the firm practice primarily in civil litigation, covering a broad range of matters. Some of those matters include appeals, contract disputes, business torts, legal-malpractice defense, creditors’ rights, identity theft, securities arbitration and litigation, landlord/tenant disputes, administrative and regulatory matters, copyright, trademark, and medical malpractice. The firm also represents individuals who have suffered serious personal injury (or death) as the result of work-related accidents or as the result of negligence/intentional misconduct by third parties.

The clients of the firm range from individuals and small businesses to publicly-held companies. Steeped in its proud and long-standing tradition, Evans, Jones & Reynolds looks forward to building on that tradition and serving its clients for many years to come.
