He’s a music enthusiast, entertainer, local attorney, and an East Tennessee institution with heaps of information to impart and volumes of stories to share. Pryor graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1969, and founded his firm, Pryor, Priest, and Harber in 1981. In his practice, Pryor has a wealth of experience in representing injured people—and he recently received the 2016 Tennessee Association for Justice’sLifetime Achievement Award.
