Provost Umphrey Attorney Mike Hamilton Named to Mid-South Super Lawyers
Hamilton receives honor for work with employee benefits cases
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The publishers of Thomson Reuters Super Lawyers magazine have named Provost Umphrey attorney W. Michael Hamilton to the 2018 list of top lawyers in the Mid-South, a designation he has earned annually since 2014.
Mr. Hamilton heads the Nashville office of Provost Umphrey L.L.P. and primarily focuses on legal issues related to employee benefits, which earned him the Super Lawyers honors. He also handles plaintiffs' personal injury and civil litigation. His clients include whistleblowers alleging government fraud and consumers in class actions, as well as product liability claims and matters involving the Fair Labor Standards and False Claims Acts.
Mr. Hamilton joins nine Provost Umphrey attorneys named to the 2018 Texas Super Lawyers list. To learn more about the individual honorees, please visit: http://www.provostumphrey.com/attorneys.
Mr. Hamilton is currently representing VA nurse practioners and physician assistants involved in an unpaid overtime lawsuit, a case that received class-action status this year. In another notable success, he secured a $5.8 million verdict on behalf of Tyson Foods employees in a back-pay compensation lawsuit and defeated a motion for a new trial. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the justices upheld the lower court decision for the employees.
For the Mid-South Super Lawyers listing, no more than 5 percent of lawyers in the region are chosen by the research team annually. Selections are made through an extensive process, including a statewide survey of attorneys, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer review by lawyers in the applicable practice area.
