Grandson of a sharecropper and son of a factory worker and a nurse, Tuck Beard understands East Tennessee, its people, and its values.  Tuck is from Polk County, Tennessee, and graduated with a history degree from Tennessee Wesleyan then received his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law.  Before receiving his law degree, Tuck worked in bars, papermills, and pest control. Tuck is an avid supporter of Tennessee athletics and loves blues, bluegrass, jazz, and country and western music.

Tuck takes a great amount of pride in practicing criminal, juvenile, family, and personal injury law, but Tuck takes disability law personally.  At a young age, Tuck experienced first-hand how grueling and demanding the disability process can be.  Tuck also experienced how impersonal, callous, and cold big-disability firms can be when they represent clients.  Tuck believes claimants are people with dignity and should be treated as such. It would be his honor to serve you and your family in the disability process.
