About Derek
Biography
I grew up in Savannah, Tennessee on the Tennessee river. I attended the University of North Alabama where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science. In 2000 I moved to Nashville to attend law school at the Nashville School of Law. During law school I worked as a legal assistant and investigator at the State of Tennessee Attorney General's Office. My work there took me all across the State and allowed me exposure to a wide variety of legal actions. When I graduated I opened my own practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with my primary focus on criminal defense. Since that time I have handled hundreds of DUI and drug cases both locally and across the State. My primary focus is to make sure that my client's receive the best legal representation possible.
