About Chris
Chris Coyne took a path that kept him close to the practical side of law. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Delaware in 2005 and completed his Juris Doctor at Nashville School of Law in 2013. Those academic stops sit at the start of a career that mixes office work and courtroom preparation.
He joined GriffithLaw early in his professional life, working as a case manager in 2010. That role put him into the day-to-day of case preparation, document review and client communication. After finishing law school, he returned to the firm as an associate in 2013. The brief chronology shows a steady progression from support work into an attorney role.
Coyne’s membership in the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association began in 2013 and continues. That affiliation places him among lawyers who practice litigation in the state. It also signals a professional interest in trial work, courtroom procedure and the kinds of disputes that require hands-on case development.
Across his time at GriffithLaw he handled responsibilities typical of both staff and attorney positions. As a case manager he organized files, coordinated deadlines and prepared materials that attorneys use in depositions and hearings. As an associate he took on legal drafting, client counseling and court filings. Those shifts reflect both practical training and the everyday demands of representing clients through pretrial and trial phases.
Coyne is licensed to practice in Tennessee. He maintains active professional membership and has worked there since completing his J.D. The combination of undergraduate study, a Nashville law degree and work at a Tennessee firm has grounded his practice in the state’s legal environment.
People who work with him describe a lawyer who knows case details and keeps the paperwork moving. He is someone who has moved from behind-the-scenes case management into the responsibilities of an associate attorney, carrying forward the procedural awareness that comes from both roles.
He continues to practice in Tennessee and handles matters that draw on his experience in case management, litigation preparation and attorney-level representation at GriffithLaw.
