An ode to my mentor, lawyer Leo Bearman
Charles Gilbreath
Charles W. Gilbreath II is a graduate of the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis and an attorney with Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel in Chattanooga.
“Leo was a man that accomplished more than most lawyers, yet he was always humble, always willing to help others in need. That he was gracious enough to take time from his busy days to help guide this lawyer on his path when he was young and lost will never be forgotten.”
