The Hamilton County Herald this week profiled Chattanooga attorney Max Bahner, who at 83 years of age, refuses to retire after 57 years of law. Bahner’s wife framed a piece of paper his daughter made him sign, which stated that he would retire on Jan. 1, 2017 – a deadline which the Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel lawyer ignored. He describes how he felt called to the profession of law, his competitive spirit and his passion for supporting younger attorneys. “Why should I retire?” Bahner asked. “I’m only 83.”
