A. GREGORY RAMOS (“Gregg”) is past President of the Nashville Bar Association, having served in that capacity in 2004. He is a member of the law firm North, Pursell & Ramos PLC in Nashville, TN, where he maintains a general civil litigation practice with an emphasis in the areas of personal injury, workers’ compensation, and employment law.

 

Mr. Ramos received his J.D. degree from Arizona State University College of Law in 1980 and his B.A. degree, magna cum laude, from Arizona State University in 1977. He is a member of the Nashville, Tennessee, and Arizona Bar Associations.

 

Upon graduation from law school in 1980, Mr. Ramos started his legal career as an Assistant Prosecutor in Phoenix, AZ, where he tried over forty (40) jury trials in four (4) years. In 1984, he moved from his home state of Arizona to Nashville, Tennessee so his wife, Sandy, could pursue a songwriting career in country music. This turned out to be a good move as Sandy’s songs have been recorded by the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Lee Greenwood, Barbara Mandrell, the Forester Sisters, Gene Watson, and a host of others. Sandy and Gregg have been married since 1977 and have two adult children, Melody and David.

He also is a past member of the Tennessee Supreme Court’s Committee on Public Trust and Confidence in the Courts and Access to Justice Commission.
