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.

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.

Rocky Mcelhaney Law Firm is the best. I've dealt with other law firms before and none came close to the level of dedication and respect this law firm provides. I was even turned away from a few because they didn't want to do the necessary work to investigate my claim for a motorcycle wreck. Mr. Mcelhaney, Carmen Garner and Ms Ali talked me thru the entire process and kept in touch the whole 9 yards. Great firm, great people. I will be using them if ever need again.

I would recommend the Rocky Law Firm to anyone I know. I had a severe accident at work where I shattered my leg and broke 2 vertebrae. My wife placed a call to the firm while I was still in the ER. Rocky had a member of his team at my side within 4 hours. The Rocky Law team took my case and made the entire process painless (pun intended!) I spent 13 months rehabilitating and during that time I had every question answered and need taken care of.

They made sure I was provided with every wheelchair, medical device, prescription, physical therapy, and doctors appointment that I NEEDED. I never had any concerns that werent immediately addressed. Paige is one of the most genuine and helpful individuals I have ever met. When you are faced with the possibility of permanent disability and loss of income, it can be scary.

She was there to help, make phone calls, chase down paperwork, or simply listen to me. I spent 13 months on workers comp due to a serious workplace injury. I had to learn to walk again. All things considered, it was a great experience and that is largely because of the Rocky Law Firm.

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.

I went to Rocky after being abandoned by a prominent lawyer in Nashville. Rocky accepted me without hesitation. After telling him about having my foot run over by a tow motor, he introduced me to the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Steven Fifield was not only professional, he was truly caring. I was completely satisfied with my case and settlement. I WILL recommend this law firm to everyone and anyone I know is in need of a fabulous law firm. THANKS ROCKY!
