FEDERAL CRIMINAL CASES
Complex Federal Defense | Strategic Representation for Middle Tennessee
When Federal Indictments Threaten Your Freedom, Defense Matters.
Federal criminal charges in Tennessee are complex, high-stakes, and governed by a different set of legal procedures than state prosecutions. As a seasoned litigator admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, I bring over 43 years of experience to crafting aggressive, strategic defense in federal cases across Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
From federal drug trafficking charges to firearms violations and white-collar crimes, I represent clients in Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson, Sumner, and Cheatham Counties. When you call, you get direct access to a federal criminal defense attorney in Nashville—no middlemen, no delays.
