Murfreesboro DUI & Criminal Defense Attorney – Personal Injury Lawyer
A large part of Jimmy’s practice consists of defending individuals charged with criminal offenses. Often times this is a person’s first brush with law enforcement. The criminal court process can be intimidating and unnerving. Jimmy’s approach is to bring relief to an otherwise difficult situation. Trained by a former police officer in criminal defense and investigation, Jimmy defends those charged with DUI, domestic assault, drug offenses, assault, and all other Tennessee misdemeanors and felonies.
A Memphis native, Jimmy graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Administration. Prior to entering law school, he worked for Covenant Transport in Chattanooga, TN, one of the largest trucking companies in the Southeastern United States at the time. This education and experience has provided Jimmy with unique, firsthand knowledge of the transportation industry and federal motor carrier regulations not held by the average attorney. As an attorney, Jimmy has also represented a number of trucking companies in injury and wrongful death claims. For those injured in accidents with tractor-trailers, hiring the average lawyer without this key knowledge and background is risky.
After graduating from the Nashville School of Law in 2011, he joined a well-respected insurance defense firm in downtown Nashville. As an attorney, he has represented individuals, businesses, and insurance companies in civil litigation cases, including automobile accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, wrongful death cases, dog bites, child injuries and various other insurance claims. He has handled cases in nearly every county in Middle Tennessee, including Rutherford, Robertson, Davidson, Williamson, Sumner, Wilson, Montgomery, Dickson, Maury, Coffee, and Bedford counties. His understanding of insurance policies and the claims process gives his clients a distinct advantage when dealing with insurance companies.
