Bud Sharp enters the field of law

Bud Sharp and his 74-year-old grandmother decided to take the LSAT together on a whim. Bud says they both aced the test and his strong performance prompted him to enter Nashville School of Law, where he earned a degree in June, 2004.

Roughly a year later, Bud has passed the bar and has opened his own practice in McMinnville across from the county offices on Locust Street.

“Everybody has to come here anyway to get their car tags,” said Bud. “And I figure the traffic will pick up even more when Eckerd’s finally opens so I’m real happy with this location.”

Bud said he toyed with the idea of opening an office downtown, but that idea didn’t last long once he saw the prices and the condition of the buildings. Bud said he was able to rent a much nicer office, at a much nicer price, just a few blocks away.

His specialty is medical malpractice, but those cases take years and years to settle. So to make sure he has steady work, Bud will handle all the general duties of an attorney including divorces and criminal cases.

“I have five meth cases going right now,” said Bud, who is a 1986 Warren County High School graduate. To get in touch with Bud, his phone number is 474-4357.
