Community Service & Involvement

Making A Lasting Impact On Our Surrounding Communities

Kinnard Law is a firm that cares about our community. We are constantly looking for ways to give back to and build up Nashville and the surrounding areas. Our team is proud to play a part in supporting those in need and is always striving to make an impact far beyond our legal practice. We have participated in several different events, organizations, and charity functions over the years. You can review some of the key areas we have invested our time in below.

Bringing A Focus Back On Respect

Kinnard Law launched a contest in the fall of 2011 to shed light on what “respect” meant to 5^th graders throughout Davidson County. Randall L. Kinnard has credited his success as a trial lawyer to his commitment to respect every individual he interacts with. The firm began to discuss ways to get students talking about what respect means to them and came up with the illustration contest.

“We strongly believed that this contest would be an interesting way to encourage students to think about the impact that respect can have within their own lives," Attorney Randy Kinnard said. "We couldn't have been more pleased with the result - a collection of extremely creative entries that thoughtfully express the many different meanings of respect."

Since that initial contest in 2011, we have completed ten more contests in Middle Tennessee. The winners of the contest receive a cash prize, as well as a cash donation to their schools and their charities of choice. This contest has been a great way to get the community involved—including parents, teachers, and students—in bringing respect back to the forefront of our daily lives.

Giving Back To Children In Nashville

Kinnard Law cares about the children in our community. Over the years, we have handled numerous cases involving children, ranging from toxic toy issues to dangerous prescription drugs. Our firm truly cares about the next generation and goes beyond our legal practice to support our community’s young children.

We support and sponsor numerous events for children in the community, including the Snowflake 5K, which is a run to benefit Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee (PCAT). PCAT facilitates the development of community-based programs through friends, professionals, volunteers, and donors to help prevent child abuse from occurring. We also hold an annual RESPECT Contest and various other events. Randy Kinnard of our firm has even served as Event Chair for the 2014 Music City 5K Christmas Run, which benefits PCAT as well.​

Sponsoring The Benton Hall Academy’s Food For Thought Fundraiser

Kinnard Law is proud to sponsor the 7^th Annual Food for Thought culinary celebration and fundraiser! For the third year in a row, our firm is sponsoring the evening benefit hosted by Benton Hall Academy, a Nashville school that’s been providing educational services to students in grades 3 – 12 with different learning needs.

Our support will help Benton Hall Academy continue its mission to provide a safe and welcoming space for local children and their families, and will fund specialized instructional staff to help the school maintain low student-teacher ratios.

This year’s event features food from some of the finest chefs and restaurants in Tennessee, and will be held on Friday March 8, 2019 at the Nashville Farmers’ Market from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We invite all to come show their support and celebrate for a good cause!
