About Tommy K.
Tommy K. Hindman began his legal journey in Tennessee in the 1970s. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1973 and completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1976. Those years of study coincided with a period of change in legal education, and they set the stage for a long career that has remained anchored in his home state.
After law school, Hindman entered private practice. He established Hindman and Associates in 1976 and has maintained that practice through the decades. The firm’s name has been the constant; the work has covered matters filed in state and federal courts. He holds admission to the Tennessee bar, and his credentials extend to the federal appellate level through admissions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the Federal Circuit.
Hindman’s professional life includes involvement in legal organizations that support courtroom skills and professional standards. He is a member of the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, an organization known among trial lawyers for practical training. He also maintains membership in the Tennessee State Bar, which connects him to the state’s broader legal community and its rules of practice.
Over the course of a multi-decade career, Hindman has handled litigation that required appearances in both trial courts and appellate forums. The admissions to the Sixth Circuit and the Federal Circuit reflect work that reaches beyond routine state-court matters. He has represented clients in federal matters and pursued appeals when cases moved to higher courts. His practice has combined courtroom work with the procedural demands of federal filings and appellate briefing.
Today, Hindman continues to operate Hindman and Associates out of Tennessee. He remains active in cases that arise in state courts and those that require federal court admission, including matters that may proceed to the Sixth Circuit or Federal Circuit. He maintains memberships in professional organizations tied to trial practice and state bar governance, and he continues to accept cases through his firm, Hindman and Associates, handling litigation in Tennessee and federal courts.
