A native of Chattanooga, Tennessee, I was raised on Signal Mountain and attended the McCallie School, where I completed my secondary education and graduated in 1988. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
I come from a family with a strong legal tradition—my father, twin brother, and sister-in-law are all attorneys. My wife, Mary Stanley Grant, is a veterinarian and co-owner of a private practice.
Outside of my professional life, my wife and I share a passion for travel. In recent years, much of our time was spent supporting our daughter as she competed on the Wofford College women’s soccer team. Since her graduation, we have turned our focus to attending continuing education seminars and exploring new destinations together.
After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee, I attended law school at Western Michigan University, earning my juris doctorate. I returned to Chattanooga to begin practicing law, focusing my practice on estate planning, trusts, estate administration, probate, tax planning, and business succession planning. I’ve also handled a number of commercial transactions, real estate matters, and litigation cases.
After 29 years of practice at Grant Konvalinka & Harrison, P.C, I joined the team at Crow Estate Planning and Probate to open their location in Chattanooga, assisting in the firm’s expansion to East Tennessee. I’m excited to continue supporting my community by helping clients with their legal needs.

I cannot recommend Thomas Steelman highly enough! From the very start, he made the entire process of setting up our estate trust absolutely painless. His expertise and clear explanations turned what I expected to be a daunting task into a smooth and stress-free experience.
Not only did he handle every aspect of our estate trust with great attention to detail, but he (and law firm colleagues) also took care of transferring over our home deeds so we didn’t have to deal with the hassle of going to the county office ourselves. That alone saved us so much time and stress!
I honestly thought the process was going to cost a small fortune, but I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was. Most importantly, though, Thomas gave us peace of mind knowing that our hard-earned assets are protected and will go exactly where we want them—without placing unnecessary burdens on our loved ones.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional estate trust attorney, Thomas and team are the ones to trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
