About Donnavon

DONNAVON VASEK - (615) 444-3995 Our phones are answered 24/7.

My practice focuses on criminal defense, estate planning and probate (including Last Will and Testaments, Conservatorship, Probate, and Powers of Attorney), and civil law. My core belief in my practice is that I will provide my clients with the most comprehensive review of their case and the most assertive and thorough effort to resolve it to its best outcome while treating them with the care, honesty, and discretion they expect and deserve. Nothing else is acceptable to me as an attorney, nor should it be to you as a client.

Being in the courtroom nearly every day of every week has exposed me to the glaring fact that we as citizens must ensure that our consititutional rights are protected in the courts. From investigating simple DUIs to sex offenses to vehicular homicide, I have seen firsthand how important it is for every citizen to have access to skilled and dedicated defense counsel.

I uphold the aggressive defense of my clients combined with a compassionate and honest understanding of the effect the charges they face are having or will have on their lives and the lives of their families. I realize many lawyers will tell you they will “fight for you,” as will I, but I also know that fighting is no use unless your case is fully investigated, prepared, and wisely thought out to its most beneficial end. I will provide you a passionate defense tempered with a great strategy and an intelligent plan of action.

I provide defense for charges such as:

DUI/DWIBUI (Boating Under the Influence)

Domestic Assault, Sexual Assault, Illegal Possession of Drugs

Drugs and Weapons charges

Drug Possession

Probation Violations

Records Expungement and any other type of criminal charge.

I also provide legal services in estate law, such as Willis and Powers of Attorneys.

 Call my office at 615-444-3995 or contact us through the website if I can help you.

Review Donnavon Vasek

Outstanding Attorney

Donnavon Vasek is brilliant at what he does. He obtained the best possible outcome for a close family member. I hired Mr. Vasek for my family member. When you need the best, contact Mr. Vasek.

This man is a legend, and saved me a life of misery!

Posted by

Mr. Vasek was appointed to my post convinction relief case in Wilson county. He fought diligently day in and day out for me. He spent countless hours doing research, reviewing evidence, and picking my brain for all the information he could use. I've never had an attorney listen to me, and give me advice the way he did. He won my case in the court of criminal appeals and got my convictions reversed. Afterwards he was appointed to represent me on several complex felony charges. He got me everything I wanted. I owe this man! Mr. Vasek and his team kept me up to date, worked tirelessly to seek justice, and in the end we prevailed. It's rare that cases get overturned in appeals court, especially with the circumstances we faced, but this man did that for me.

A trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer

Posted by

I hired Donnavon to write my legal documents and give legal advice for my business. I had attempted to research and write myself, but ended up causing myself more harm than good. Donnavon was helpful to put me in the right direction, and explain the laws/ details in a way that I could easily understand. He took his time with me, and I felt like I was the only case he had. By the time I left the first meeting, we had a game plan and knew I was in the right place. If you’re looking to hire an attorney who is going to get things done- he is definitely your guy, and I will definitely use him corn our legal needs.

Fantastic Attorney!

Posted by

Donnavon Vasek did a fantastic job with my case. From the moment I walked in for my consultation, he already had a couple different plans to handle my situation. Very professional and knowledgeable. I always felt like there was nothing to worry about after I hired him. I’m happy to say he resolved my case and gave me the best outcome I could have asked for! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He will try his hardest to fight for your rights!

Atty Vasek was great and very knowledgeable.

Mr. Vasek and Alex (Paralegal) were wonderful to us in preparing my wife and my Wills. I feel having them prepare our Wills and the questions he asked us helped my our legal documents more professional. It's like a heavy weight has been lifted as my wife and I look forward to our older years.

Hidden jewel

Posted by

Had no idea what Donnavon was capable of or even if he truly had my best interest at heart until yesterday. People, you won’t regret the knowledge and service he has to offer. If your looking to hire a big gun in the court room, then look no farther. At best I thought he would have my offense lowered, after all I did admit guilt. Thanks to Donnovan and his team my charge was dismissed.

Hard Working and Never Gives Up!

Posted by

Donnavon worked for close to two years on my case. He never gave up and worked every possible angle of negotiation/compromise to give me the best possible outcome. Finally his hard work paid off and I am very happy with the outcome. I appreciate all of the effort put in and I 100% recommend him. He is a good dude!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Donnavon is a talented and compassionate lawyer. His clients feel they have been listened to, and that someone is really advocating on their behalf.

James Stocks, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 21, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I've known Donnavon for several years now and am impressed with the natural ability he shows for practicing law.

George Lannom, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 12, 2016
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

Donnavon started working for me as my lead investigator several years ago. He did a fantastic job in that position and began helping me with my criminal cases as he progressed through law school. Even though he worked - HARD - 5 days a week, he still managed to graduate top of his law class and earned an award for it. I was happy to be able to offer Donnavon a position in my law firm and am proud of the lawyer he has become. He's smart, intelligent, and has a heart for criminal defense.

B. Williams, Trucking accident Attorney on Nov 19, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Donnavon for almost 5 years and he's a good man and I'm sure will prove a great attorney. He handled a fairly intricate and large estate matter for one of my employees and it turned out great for her. I appreciate him as a friend and a fellow attorney and recommend him unreservedly.

Melanie Bean, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 19, 2015
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

I've worked with Donnavon for several years now and have always been deeply impressed with his commitment to defending our clients. He was our Lead Investigator while he finished law school and was meticulous in his attention to details. Donnavon also has a way of making sure our clients feel confident their case is getting the attention and results they expect from us. Now that he has graduated law school and begun his practice with us, I can see him using the same analytical skills and dedication to justice in defense of his own clients. He is fantastic in the courtroom and I am proud to practice with him.
