America has many “quiet heroes,” some of whom protect The Department of Energy’s Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. These brave men are the “Elite Special Response Team,” some of the best-trained and best-equipped forces protecting America’s nuclear weapons and material, with deadly force if necessary. These “Elite Special Response” teams are filled with professionals that have served in the military and law enforcement. It’s not uncommon to find former Marines, Army Rangers, Special Forces, and police veterans serving in various positions within these teams.
They use words like honor, code, and loyalty. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. And they live up to their words: They walk their talk – and one of these quiet heroes is Vincent “Vinny” Cinelli, who, while riding his motorcycle one March day in broad daylight, was run down by a hit and run driver, someone who does not live a life of honor, code, and loyalty. Vinny Cinelli was severely injured, but miraculously recovered! And today, The Insider Exclusive is here to tell his story: The true story of the magnificent courage of Vinny Cinelli and how his lawyer, Bruce Fox of the Law Firm of Fox & Farley in Clinton, Tennessee, got justice for Vinny.
And because of Bruce’s extraordinary success in the courtroom, he has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike as one of the best plaintiffs’ trial lawyers in Tennessee and the nation. It is said that “The true measure of any man is not how they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but how they stand in moments of challenge and controversy.” Both Bruce and Vinny have stood in those moments of challenge and controversy. And that’s why The Insider Exclusive salutes both of these quiet American heroes.
