Cesar Arbelaez is one of you. Cesar is an immigrant. Born in Colombia, his family moved to the United States when he was nine years old. Cesar doesn't just speak the language; he understands the difficulties many Hispanic immigrants experience. These difficulties are common in other underrepresented groups. Cesar can provide compassionate representation to clients of all backgrounds.

Cesar Arbelaez graduated with honors from Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis. While in law school, Cesar founded the law school’s Hispanic Student Association and was a member of the school’s Diversity Committee.

In 2016, Cesar became a licensed attorney in Tennessee. Cesar joined the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office that year as an Assistant District Attorney, the first male Hispanic ADA in Nashville’s history. During his near four-year tenure, Cesar worked in domestic violence, DUI, and other misdemeanor, and felony cases. Cesar has extensive experience in DUI cases: he has been part of five DUI jury trials, attended various seminars and DUI prosecutor trainings, conducted DUI training for law enforcement officers, and handled over 100 DUI cases as a prosecutor. Now it is Cesar’s honor to use his skills and experience to represent the underrepresented and give a voice to those that often go unheard in our society.
