Defending Justice, Integrity, and the Families We Serve
The Witherspoon Law Group (TWLG) is one of the largest independently funded, minority-owned and operated law firms in America. Built on a foundation of relentless advocacy, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to justice, we take immense pride in serving families who have experienced profound loss, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights protected.
Recent legal proceedings and the public censure of Mr. Nuru Witherspoon by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility do not reflect the truth about our firm’s adherence to ethical standards and dedication to our clients. The proceedings and censure fail to acknowledge critical facts and misinterpret the legal framework that governs multijurisdictional practice. TWLG has always conducted its legal work in full compliance with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 5.5(c), which permits out-of-state attorneys to practice under specific circumstances. Unfortunately, key evidence supporting our compliance was not fully considered, limiting our ability to present a complete defense.
This matter highlights significant concerns regarding procedural fairness and jurisdictional oversight. It is essential that all attorneys, regardless of geographic location, are held to clear and consistent standards when working to assist those in need.
TWLG is more than just a law firm—we are a team of dedicated professionals who have earned a national reputation for championing justice on behalf of individuals and families who often feel unheard. While this censure is a matter of record, it does not impact Mr. Witherspoon’s ability to practice law or the operations of TWLG. We will continue to stand strong in our mission, serving our clients with the highest level of professionalism, compassion, and diligence.
As a minority-owned firm, we take great pride in our achievements, our resilience, and the trust our clients place in us. We remain committed to breaking barriers, demanding accountability, and ensuring justice is accessible to all.
The Witherspoon Law Group stands firm in its dedication to advocacy, integrity, and the pursuit of justice for the communities we serve.
