Tennessee W. Walker
Attorney
Tennessee Walker brings the invaluable insight and perspective of a defense attorney to his role as a Plaintiff’s trial lawyer. Tennessee is a former Shareholder at Harris, Finley & Bogle, P.C., one of the finest commercial law firms in the DFW area. While at Harris, Finley & Bogle, Tennessee learned under some of the best and most accomplished trial lawyers in Texas. After spending eight years defending businesses and individuals in a wide variety of disputes, Tennessee joined Patterson Law Group to apply his craft in a different way—to fight for people who have been injured. His ability to think like a defense attorney allows him to better serve his clients.
Tennessee was raised on a ranch in tiny Tehuacana, Texas. His father is a horse trainer and his mother is a dental assistant. Tennessee learned the need for, and meaning of, hard work at an early age, and he prides himself on the work ethic instilled in him by his parents. Today, he uses that work ethic to tirelessly fight for his clients. Indeed, he continually strives to achieve justice for the injured—a truly worthy cause.
Tennessee’s wife Lauren is a small animal veterinarian. The couple met at Texas A&M. Tennessee and Lauren have a one year old son, Renner. When not working, they spend most of their time trying to keep up with Renner. Tennessee also enjoys riding and showing cutting horses and makes a little time to play golf and follow Texas A&M athletics.
