Meet John D. Peppers

John Peppers is an attorney with a diverse background of 30 years experience in business, academia, the Tennessee foster system, adoption, and estate planning. His entrepreneurial experience covers a range of industries including retail, restaurant, consulting, and property management.

 

After receiving his MBA, he accepted teaching positions at Bethel University, Nashville State Community College, and Athens State University focusing on Systems Theory, Strategic Planning, Human Resources, Entrepreneurship, Personal Finance, Organizational Behavior, Business Statistics, Civil Litigation for Paralegals, and Corporate Law.

 

Throughout his career he has created, managed, and served as a trustee for Corporations, General Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Corporations, and Trusts.

Education

Originally from Nashville, John graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration followed by an MBA, and then PhD work in the same field at Trident University in Cypress, California.

 

While earning his degrees, John started a property management company serving commercial, industrial, and residential property owners for over 25 years. At the height of the company’s service, his team managed 300+ leases across six counties in Middle Tennessee.

 

Family

John and his wife, Kandace, served as foster parents for the Department of Children’s Services beginning in 2015 and culminated in the adoption of a sibling group of five children, ages 5 and under, who had previously been in permanent guardianship of the State of Tennessee.

 

While serving as foster parents, John and Kandace noticed a need for Guardian Ad Litems (GALs) to serve in the juvenile court. The GALs are appointed by the Judges to advocate for children in state custody.

 

John practices in Downtown Franklin, serving as a GAL in the Williamson County Juvenile Court, helping clients with estate planning, working with small to medium-sized business owners, and working with adoptive parents on their adoption plans.

Client Stories

  • “Johnny has been a huge help getting our company's legal documents in order. Not only does he have a strong command over the specifics of the language, but his long history of business ownership gives him a real-world framework for recommendations and potential scenarios to consider. We refer others to him with full confidence of an A+ experience!”

    Brian M., Franklin

  • “I am generally not a fan of lawyers. However, John Peppers proved to be the exception to the rule. I was in a situation with a company full of lawyers who were not going to bend; even after admitting their mistake. John was able to broker a deal quickly and efficiently, making far more than I would have made on my own, with a reasonable fee. It’s nice to know someone like him is on your side when it seems like the rest of the world is out to get you.”

    P.P., Franklin

  • “John Peppers generated a will and living will for me as if they were the most important documents he'd created that week. Thorough and professional, John treated me with kindness and respect and gave me all the time I needed to make sure I was happy with the results. Good lawyer, good guy.”
