John Peppers: Attorney at Law
Updated: 58 minutes ago
The Business of Law
As a longtime member of the Williamson County community, I am proud to call Brentwood home. I am blessed with my loving wife, Kandace, and seven children (five of whom still live at home and attend school in Williamson County). Having spent decades in both Franklin and Brentwood, I have roots in the community where I was raised and being able to serve the people and families who make this area home is especially meaningful to me.
My path to practicing law came after years spent teaching business and statistics as a professor and managing several private businesses. Those experiences gave me a practical understanding of the challenges individuals and business owners face. After earning my law degree, I entered private practice, bringing that background and perspective to my work with clients and opened my office in historic downtown Franklin.
I work with business owners and individuals on a variety of legal matters, including contracts, agreements, leases, and other business documents. Whether someone is starting a business or needs help reviewing an important agreement, I strive to provide straightforward advice and help clients understand their options so they can make informed decisions.
I also work with families needing legal advice on adoptions, and with children in the foster care in Williamson County juvenile court. Helping families through the adoption process and advocating for children has been some of the most meaningful work of my career. These experiences have also shown me the importance of planning for the future. Through my estate planning practice, I help individuals and families prepare wills and trusts to provide for their loved ones and make their wishes clear.
Having spent years teaching and running businesses before becoming an attorney, I bring a practical perspective to the legal issues my clients face. I understand that behind every contract, adoption, or estate plan are people making important decisions about their lives, families, and livelihoods. I believe in taking the time to listen, answer questions, and understand each client's circumstances. I intentionally maintain a small practice in a charming historic home in downtown Franklin because I value personal relationships and want my clients to feel comfortable coming to me for guidance.
Being involved in the community is an important part of my life outside the office as well. I am a member of the Downtown Franklin Association, active at Franklin First United Methodist Church, and have volunteered with the Pull-Tight Players for the past twenty years. I also support CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Williamson County and several other local nonprofits, including Miriam’s Promise.
Williamson County has been home to my family for most of my life, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community that has given us so much. Whether I am helping a family through an adoption, advocating for a child, assisting a business owner with a contract, or preparing an estate plan, I want my clients to know they have someone they can turn to for honest advice, personal attention, and dependable legal guidance.
I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and see how I can help.
