Tennessee has a new law on the books for anyone who rents out a home or rents one. Starting January 1, 2027, a residential landlord can’t use the lease to prohibit a tenant from lawfully keeping a fi***rm in their home, in their vehicle in the tenant parking area, or on the walk between the two.

Landlords keep some control. They can still require that fi***rms stay concealed, holstered, or cased in hallways, elevators, and other common areas, and the law leaves out hospitals, licensed care facilities, state-leased premises, and school property. A blanket “no fi***rms” clause in a lease that’s signed or renewed after the effective date is a different story, because a tenant who’s adversely affected can sue for an injunction, damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

Mark Freeman and Nick Schulenberg explain what Public Chapter 606 requires, when it applies, and what both sides should do before 2027 renewals: https://www.fusonlaw.com/tennessee-landlord-fi***rm-law

If you own rental property or you’re a tenant with questions about your lease, call Freeman & Fuson at (615) 298-7272.

Ethan is active-duty Army. When he was arrested for DUI in Williamson County, the charge alone froze his promotions and put his security clearance at risk, months before a jury would hear a word of evidence.

He hired Nashville criminal defense attorney Joey Fuson, who took the case to trial. The jury came back not guilty. When we asked Ethan about the experience afterward, this is what he said.

If you are facing a DUI charge in Nashville or the surrounding counties, the attorney you choose in the first week matters. Call our office at (615) 298-7272 to talk through your situation.

A job offer in another city, a remarriage, family who can help with the kids: the reasons a parent wants to move are usually good ones. Once a parenting plan is in place, though, moving with your child is no longer entirely your decision, and Tennessee law sets the process.

The relocation statute applies to any move out of state or more than 50 miles from the other parent. It requires written notice by certified mail at least 60 days before the move, and the other parent then has 30 days to object. If nobody objects in time, the move can generally proceed. If someone does, a judge decides based on the child's best interest.

Our latest post walks through parental relocation in Tennessee step by step, including the notice requirements parents most often get wrong: https://www.fusonlaw.com/parental-relocation-tennessee

Happy National Paralegal Day to the 6 paralegals who keep every case at Freeman & Fuson moving.

Sarah Hastings, Chloe Duncan, and Mallory Smith drive the criminal defense docket. Kara Giesing supports our family law team. Makenzie Clark anchors civil litigation, and Megan Duty guides injury clients from the first call to resolution.

Before a client ever sits down with an attorney at our Nashville law firm, one of them has usually already taken the first call, gathered the records, and built the file. Deadlines get met and clients stay informed because of the work they do every day.

Thank you, Sarah, Chloe, Mallory, Kara, Makenzie, and Megan. The whole firm is better for your work.

When riders picture a settlement, they usually picture one check. A settlement is actually several categories of money folded into one figure, and hospitals, health insurers, and lien holders have a legal right to be repaid out of it before the client sees a dollar.

In one closed case we handled, the claim settled for $160,000. The hospital wanted to collect a $33,102 lien at full billed price, other liens attached on top of it, and after every lien was negotiated or resolved our client kept $91,772. That outcome is specific to that case, its coverage, and its liens, and it isn't a prediction or guarantee for any other claim. What it shows is where the real work in a Tennessee motorcycle settlement happens: in the lien negotiations most people never see.

Our latest post walks through that case category by category, from the crash to the number that reached the client's account: https://www.fusonlaw.com/tennessee-motorcycle-accident-claims

This is general information, not legal advice. Every case is different. If you've been hurt in a Tennessee motorcycle crash, call us at (615) 298-7272.
