Greer Injury Lawyers Attorneys Honored With Two Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association Awards

If you are searching for a Memphis personal injury lawyer, the credentials behind the name matter. Awards from peer organizations like the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA) are one of the clearest signals of how an attorney is regarded by the people who watch them work in court.

At the TTLA’s Annual Convention in Chattanooga on June 12, 2026, Greer Injury Lawyers had two attorneys recognized in the same year. Founding Attorney Thomas Greer received the TTLA Trial Lawyer of the Year Award, and Managing Attorney Nora Alhussaini Taube received the TTLA New Trial Lawyer of the Year Award.

For a firm that built its name on taking cases to trial rather than settling them quietly, the dual recognition reflects something specific: trial readiness isn’t limited to one senior partner. It runs through the firm.

What the TTLA Trial Lawyer of the Year Award Recognizes

The Trial Lawyer of the Year Award goes to an attorney who shows excellence in trial advocacy, delivers strong results under difficult circumstances, and advances the civil justice system through leadership. It is not a popularity award. It is judged on courtroom performance and impact on the profession.

Thomas Greer has built his career around that standard. He has secured multiple multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements in state and federal courts on behalf of clients in serious personal injury, wrongful death, and professional negligence cases. At 37, he served as President of the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, making him one of the youngest attorneys ever to hold that role. He is also a frequent instructor at continuing legal education seminars for other Tennessee attorneys.

“Trial readiness is not a tactic for us, it is how we practice,” Greer said. “When the same firm is recognized for both an established trial lawyer and an emerging one in the same year, it says the courtroom standard we hold ourselves to is shared across the firm, not carried by any one attorney.”

What the TTLA New Trial Lawyer of the Year Award Recognizes

This award is reserved for attorneys age 40 or younger, or those in practice for ten years or less, who demonstrate excellence in advocacy, high professional standards, meaningful community service, and a sustained commitment to TTLA’s mission.

Nora Alhussaini Taube has helped secure jury and bench verdicts across a docket that spans personal injury, medical malpractice, birth injury, catastrophic trucking collisions, and wrongful death. She currently serves on the TTLA Board of Governors, has presented CLE sessions for newer plaintiff attorneys, and was recently selected for the Memphis Bar Association’s Leadership Forum.

Her recognition reflects the firm’s approach to developing trial lawyers from within, rather than relying solely on senior partners to carry the courtroom workload.

Why Trial-Readiness Matters When You’re Choosing a Memphis Personal Injury Lawyer

Most personal injury cases settle before trial. But the leverage a firm has in settlement negotiations comes directly from whether the insurance company believes the firm will actually go to trial if the offer is too low. A firm known for settling everything has less room to push back. A firm with a track record like Greer Injury Lawyers, including a $38,816,500 verdict and more than $300 million recovered for injured clients across Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, negotiates from a different position.

That track record is also why these TTLA awards carry weight beyond the ceremony. They come from other trial attorneys across the state, the people best positioned to judge courtroom skill.

A Firm-Wide Standard, Not an Individual One

Taken together, the two awards point to a single throughline at Greer Injury Lawyers: a trial-first standard that runs from the firm’s most senior advocates to those still building their courtroom careers, applied to every client’s case regardless of who is handling it.
