About Chaffin, Fitzpatrick & Pinson in Cookeville, TN
Chaffin, Fitzpatrick & Pinson operates from two adjacent offices on N Washington Ave in Cookeville, building a focused practice around personal injury, criminal defense, DUI, and family law. The firm's attorneys bring over 150 combined years of legal experience to their cases, experience that reflects a deliberate choice to specialize rather than handle every type of legal matter.
Walter Fitzpatrick III is the firm's highest-profile attorney: a Super Lawyers selectee and 2025 Client Champion honoree whose personal injury and criminal defense work has built a strong reputation across the Upper Cumberland. The Client Champion designation reflects client satisfaction scores rather than peer nominations, meaning it reflects actual client experiences with the attorney's work.
The firm is explicit about what it doesn't handle. It does not take bankruptcy, Social Security, or workers' compensation cases, which reflects the same specialization philosophy. For clients with personal injury claims from auto accidents, truck accidents, or premises liability situations, or for those facing criminal charges or DUI in Putnam County, Chaffin, Fitzpatrick & Pinson is one of the first calls Cookeville attorneys and referral networks point toward.
