Criminal Defense 40%

My practice is focused on defending citizens accused of crimes. Included in my practice is years of experience with complex drug and drug conspiracy cases, homicides, aggravated and domestic assaults, firearm offenses, sexual offenses and cases designed to keep young (and older) clients from having a criminal record as a result of their first offenses. We focus on investigation and our clients taking as many remedial measures as possible prior to court to help us obtain the very best results

DUI and DWI 40%

From the first day of my practice I have been known as the go to person to fight a serious DUI case. Having helped people from all walks of life, lawyers, state representatives, pilots, commercial drivers and any number of people who desire to avoid the difficulties of a DUI conviction. I defend all alcohol and drug related driving offenses, boating under the influence cases and have successfully defended numerous vehicular homocide cases and Boating Under the Influence homocide cases.

40%
Domestic Violence 20%

Domestic Assault is one of the most abused charges levied against citizens. It tears apart families and results in arbitrary and over-used legal penalties. I fight for my client's right to rejoin their families, get access to their belongings, and to clear their good names.

Outstanding Five-Star Legal Representation

If you are reading this review then you are likely considering legal representation. If so, I have two honest suggestions: One, don't ever take a chance when it comes to legal difficulties - hire a reputable attorney. Two, look no further than Mr. Lannom. Mr. Lannom came highly recommended and I ...now understand exactly why. He is extremely knowledgeable in legal matters and - equally as important - he is experienced in the nuance of court procedure. He anticipated everything related to my matter and even successfully predicted what would be said and by whom. In the end, my outcome far exceeded my expectations and Mr. Lannom is a true credit to his profession.

Excellence and determined

Mr Lannom and his team worked tirelessly on my Case. In our first meeting I was met with professionalism intelligence and determination beyond what I could have imagined. Also dealing with Mr Lannom’s team of lawyers and paralegals was extremely pleasant I found them professional intelligent and acco...mmodating. Overall my experience with Mr Lannom excellent he is a fighter in the courtroom and knows the law inside and out.

Excellent Service

Mr. Frank Lannom was the best at taking me through every step of the case, how the case could potentially result in, and gave me every different factor that could suddenly change the action of the Judge, or the court itself. He answered any question about my case, albeit something simple or complex r...egarding the issue at hand. Said issue being a speeding ticket, and a Reckless Driving Citation, both of which he handled with the utmost care and dedication to alleviate any stress it caused, and to get end results.

Our Son's Gladiator

We hired Frank to help us with our son's probation violation. Frank and his staff researched several options, i.e. Drug Court, etc to avoid the six year sentence and kept us informed throughout. Although our son didn't qualify for these options Frank was able to get him released and back on probation... with another new program for Employer Tax Credit. Frank showed he was concerned for both our family and my son.

Review of Legal Services

I would like to thank everyone I encountered at Lannom & Williams Law Group. Frank, Melanie, Carmen and Donnavon. You are all excellent...! I feel very fortunate to have found your firm when I was in such desperate need of legal guidance. My situation was truly unfortunate and I felt alone and confus...ed until I came to you guys. Everyone's professionalism and expertise gave me the assurance and security I needed to know that things were going to be alright in light of such a difficult time for me. I no longer felt alone nor afraid. I was confident of the situation and I felt protected. Thanks to your excellent work and extensive knowledge I had a very successful outcome with my case and I feel that I can now start over and look at a much brighter future for myself. There are no words to thank you all for your hard work, dedication and such caring and compassionate support when I needed it the most and there is no doubt in my mind that you guys are the BEST!

"I worked through law school as Frank Lannom's full time investigator and saw first hand how he focused completely on each client's case, their particular circumstances, and aggressively worked for the best resolution in that client's case. His love of the law and respect for the freedom of citizens is infectious. After graduating law school, I accepted a position in his firm and am putting the skills and energy I learned (and continue to learn) from Frank into practice defending my client's each day."

"I recently represented an individual in Rutherford County on VOP charges stemming from an arrest in Wilson County. I did my research and sent my client to Frank because of his reputation and experience with the Wilson County court system. Frank was able to get the charge dismissed and as a result, I was able to get my clients VOP dismissed. I endorse him without reservation."

If Mr. Lannom cannot help you, he will send to your someone who can; unlike others who are simply content taking your check. If I got charged with a criminal offense, he would be my attorney."
