Biography
Sid Gilreath has dedicated his career to advocating for individuals who have been injured in an accident.
In 1973, Sid founded Gilreath & Associates with the goal of delivering high-quality legal services to clients. Sid doesn't take this goal lightly. He obtained his pilot's license after training with Evelyn "Mama Bird" Johnson of Morristown, Tennessee, famous for being the female pilot with the most flying hours in the world, and he routinely flies across the southeast to meet with clients and attend hearings.
Flying requires discipline, organization, and the ability to plan ahead, all traits that Sid uses while helping individuals and families navigate the legal system.
Sid is admitted to practice in Tennessee, the US District Court, Eastern and Middle Districts of Tennessee, the US Court of Appeals, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 11th Circuits, and the Supreme Court of the United States.
