Rocky McElhaney
Rocky McElhaney
Founder, Chief Legal Officer & Lead Attorney
Rocky knows that hard working people who are injured should not be subjected to additional hardship because a big corporation or insurance company refuses to do the right thing. Rocky believes that injured people deserve an attorney they can trust to ensure that those that harm them are held fully accountable. Big corporations, and the billion-dollar insurance companies that back them should be held to the same standard we teach our children to immediately take responsibility when they cause damage to another, and fully pay for the harms and losses.

Penny Mcelhaney
Penny Mcelhaney
Chief Executive Officer & Attorney
Her career path changed when she was asked to lobby for the passage of a bill to remove repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel, as recognized, compensable injuries under workers' compensation law. Penny's father had worked for General Motors for years and both of her parents currently worked at Toyota Manufacturing. She had seen her mom suffer a repetitive motion injury and wear an arm brace for carpal tunnel syndrome. She had firsthand knowledge that carpal tunnel was real and that its effects could be devastating. Overwhelmed by the amount of money insurance companies must buy influence and shape public debate to beat good people down, she decided to switch career tracks and go to law school to help people fight back.

The stars aligned when Rocky McElhaney and Penny met. In what can only be described as destiny well over a decade ago, these two hardworking, people-loving hometown lawyers from humble beginnings joined forces and have been changing lives and righting wrongs for injury victims across Tennessee and Southeast ever since.

Dallas, Texas is known for three great things: Its home of the Dallas Cowboys, its where the 7-Eleven Slurpee got its start, and its the birthplace of one heck of a personal injury attorney RMLs own Patrick Kilgore.

A hero in his own right, Patrick has been humbly and successfully representing clients injured by the negligence of others for more than 30 years. In this time, he has recovered millions of dollars for these individuals and their families through negotiated settlements and jury trials.

Mr. Kilgore was my lawyer and everyone who worked with him on my case was very friendly and hopefully with my case. I would recommend Rocky McElhaney for anyone who needs a good law firm.

Rocky McElhaney Law Firm truly shines when it comes to navigating the complexities of injury cases. Attorney Patrick Kilgore and Mary Howden displayed exceptional attentiveness, understanding, and clarity throughout our interaction. Their adept explanation of the legal process ensured we were well-informed every step of the way, leading to a favorable outcome.

Despite the inherent challenges, their vigorous advocacy exceeded our expectations, resulting in a more favorable resolution than anticipated. As a claims adjuster, I am grateful for their professionalism and dedication to securing the best possible outcome for their clients.

I really want to thank my assigned attorney, Andrea & her paralegals for helping me through this process. They were very considerate and attuned to my concerns. They kept me informed and was relentless in seeking justice for me. They stood up to the insurance company and had my best interest as the top priority. Again I want to thank Rocy McElaney Law firm for going to bat for me.

This firm deserves only 5 star reviews. They set the bar above the rest. I did very little in comparison to what was done for me in settlement of a car accident. They are personable, professional, and communicate promptly. I thank you so much.

Rocky Mcelhaney Law Firm was amazing. My attorney Tina Silva Briley was very thorough, very informative and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I highly recommend to anyone who needs someone to fight for them to contact Rocky Mcelhaney firm and request attorney Tina Dilva Briley.

Rocky's team did a good job taking care of my case, even during the ups and downs of covid. Communication could have been better at times, butthey always contacted me when there was an update to my case. They always treated me fairly and professionally.

I was re-ended on 65N while at a dead stop and Rocky Law did an amazing job with making sure all my car was taken care of as well all medical bills, and any expensive a related to the accident was taken care of as well. It was a rough start due to the insurance companies playing the blame game but Parker and his team stepped in and got everyone in the same page and was able to finally get a settlement which covered everything and then some. Thank you Parker and Rocky Law for ALL you did for me.

Rocky's team is amazing! We were in a small auto accident while on vacation that really messed up my 16 year old daughters back and she is a dancers that is not able to dance as she once had. The time and attention to our small care was HUGE! Even when COVID 19 hit, their teams did not miss a beat~ From the bottom of our hearts, The Wilson's thank you guys, especially Zack Smith who stayed by our side! Steve, Kerry and Lexi

Rocky Law Firm is the best choice you can make for you and your family! The entire staff is extremely knowledgable and professional. They really treat you like family, not just another client. Rocky is definitely the first person I will call if I ever need help.

I had the pleasure of working with Rocky McElhaney about 17 years. During that time I witnessed his transition from a young attorney just starting out to presently building an incredible legal practice that boasts many staff attorneys along with a host of other capable legal professionals. I knew Rocky from his humble beginnings to the incredible success he is today.

That success has come from nothing but his hard work, determination and his desire to see people treated fairly. The humble young attorney I met all those years ago is now a powerhouse amongst the area's legal community. Rocky McElhaney is one of the most fair and down-to-earth attorneys you would ever want to help you with any legal assistance you may need.

All his staff from attorneys to paralegals are held to the highest standards. Anyone you contact in his office is genuinely interested in you and your needs. You'll be treated like family. I know from my own experience and I want others that are interested in seeking his services to know that as well. You can't go wrong with Rocky! Shea Krisle

I hired Rocky McElhaney Law Firm when my 16 year old son died in an accident with a tractor trailer truck. Rocky and his office was great. Kept me fully informed of everything the whole time. I originally had Bart Durham, but Rocky and his staff took us and treated us like family. He worked hard and won my casee when the other firm wouldn't fight. Would recommend Rocky McElhaney to anyone

I was in rear-ended by someone on their phone while I was on vacation in Tennessee. The whole thing was just awful. I was out of my state and totally out of my element dealing with hospitals and doctors and the bills, my God- the bills! I was pretty apprehensive about handing over control to a someone to handle my case especially when I theyre hundreds of miles away, so I waited a while (probably longer than I should) to start calling attorneys.

At first, I thought I might be able to handle it myself and settle out on my own with the adjuster but she wasnt throwing out any reasonable numbers. Their initial offers didnt even cover all of my bills from the accident. To make it worse, I wasnt even done seeing the doctor then! It made me so mad! They were talking to me like the accident was my fault!

I was nervous to let someone else take the reigns but I knew I couldnt do it on my own. Finally, I called Rocky. His team was great from day one. I ended up dealing primarily with Justin and Patrick. I was worried that Id have to check in with them a bunch but they kept me updated but that was not the case. I got to know my lawyers and paralegals. Gina and Daniel were wonderful.

They prepared my case for the attorneys with more care then I would have for myself. It surprised me how well they documented all of my bills and injuries. Without giving away too much, Ill just say they handled my case with kid gloves and I came away with more than I expected. My advice is dont try to handle it on your own. Call Rockys firm: sooner than later. They know what theyre doing. Its okay to give up a little control sometimes, lol.

My back was injured when I was hit head on by a truck on the wrong side of the road. I called Rocky McElhaney the next day. Rocky called me to talk about the wreck and my injuries and asked what could be done for me that day. They immediately sent James Klein to my house to talk about the wreck. Over the next few months, James and the rest of the staff at the firm worked very hard for me in dealing with the other party's insurance company.

I was always kept up to date with every minute detail, but only when I asked! Overall I could not have asked for a better experience working with this firm. Five stars hands down. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys to handle everything for you. You will NOT be disappointed with the results.

Rocky McElhaney and his team were amazing when it came to handling our case. My husband was injured in an auto accident in the spring of 2012. We had researched and spoken with different attorneys before deciding on his law firm. This past spring Rocky and his team were able to help us receive the out come we deserved. They were supportive, informative, and extremely competent. This was our first ever law suit and hopefully our last. However, if I had to go through it all again there would not be another attorney I would go to. Thank you Rocky!

Rocky McElhaney is a great lawyer and if you need one who is gifted and has compassion for you and your family than he is the one. When Rocky took my case I had been waiting for a number of years for a back injury that I had on my job. I didn't think I'd be able to get a settlement because my employer wouldn't cooperate with me. But Rocky stepped in and took care of the matter for me and my family because he knows how to get real results and seems to know exactly what each of his clients are going through with their injuries.

I would recommend him to anyone who's going through a lawsuit with a company. He is the man for the job! I would have gave him 12 stars but I could only choose 5 in this rating system.
