Frantz, McConnell & Seymour, LLP attorney Benjamin C. Mullins was recently recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” for Litigation – Real Estate in the Knoxville area.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.

In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, Benjamin C. Mullins was also listed in the 2025 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America in the following practice areas:

  • Land Use and Zoning Law
  • Litigation – Real Estate
  • Real Estate Law

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.
