At Eric Buchanan & Associates, we believe that how we practice law is just as important as the results we achieve for our clients. That is why we are incredibly honored to announce that our firm has been named a winner of the 2026 BBB Torch Award for Ethics (Category II).
Presented by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia, the Torch Award is the highest honor the BBB bestows upon businesses. It recognizes companies that display an outstanding level of integrity and ethical standards in their relationships with clients, employees, and the community.
A Legacy of Integrity
This 2026 win is a particularly proud moment for us, as it marks the second time our firm has been recognized with this prestigious award. Our history with the BBB Torch Awards reflects our long-term commitment to doing things the right way:
- 2014: First-time Torch Award Winner
- 2025: Torch Award Finalist
- 2026: Two-time Torch Award Winner
Building a culture of trust isn’t a one-time effort; it is a daily practice. Being recognized again over a decade after our first win reinforces that our core values remain as strong today as they were the day we opened our doors.
Why This Award Matters
In the legal profession, clients often come to us during some of the most challenging times of their lives—when they are dealing with disability, insurance disputes, or financial uncertainty. In these moments, they need more than just legal expertise; they need an advocate they can trust implicitly.
The Torch Award for Ethics validates our efforts to provide:
- Trust: Building honest, transparent relationships with every client.
- Integrity: Standing by our word and doing what is right, even when it isn’t easy.
- Ethical Leadership: Setting a standard for the legal community in how we treat our peers and our opposition.
- Service: Giving back to the Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia communities that we call home.
A Thank You to Our Team and Community
This recognition would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our entire team. From our attorneys to our support staff, every member of Eric Buchanan & Associates plays a vital role in upholding the ethical standards that this award represents.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Better Business Bureau for their work in promoting a fair and honorable marketplace, and for announcing this year’s winners among such an inspiring group of local businesses.
Finally, thank you to our clients. It is a privilege to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to advocate for you with the same integrity and excellence that earned us this honor.
