For the last 15 years, I have represented many persons and business with their legal issues. When selecting an attorney, we believe that you must feel comfortable in trusting that attorney with your life decisions in legal matters. Whether your case is a criminal charge and you've been arrested, need advice regarding a divorce or child custody matter, a loved one has passed away or you've been injured from someone's mistake or negligence, our firm has been trused by many clients. Trust and legal ability is a high standard and you must select an attorney that has this high standard.
I have lived in the Nashville area since 1985. In my early years, I was a sworn police officer with the Metro-Nashville Police Department. During my police career, I've been a patrol officer, narcotics detective, violent crimes investigator and hostage negotiator. During this career, I attended law school and worked extremely hard to achieving my law degree. I was successful and became the legal advisor and legal instructor for the entire Metro Police Dept. I worked closely with Davidson County prosecutors and was the liason between the police department and District Attorney's Office.
In 2001, I elected to open my private Nashville law practice and ended my career as a police officer. For the last 15 years, I have used my experience as an effective litigator and "problem solver" for my clients. We have many families and businesses that trust our office with their legal matters. My life and legal experience in Nashville has made a difference for our clients, whether it has been a criminal case, divorce or other legal matters. I have the knowledge, experience and wisdom that sets me apart from other attorneys. Our clients are referrals from persons that know and trust me and this is how our firm has been successful. I've only recently begun to market with AVVO.
On a more personal note, I have been involved with our church for many years; coached everything from football, baseball to basketball. I've played sports all of my life and believe in the sound fundamentals it teaches. I have 2 wonderful children and a great wife who is a partner/lawyer with our firm. I believe in the 2nd amendment and the right to protect yourself. I am a member of the NRA, Tennessee Firearms Association and other various organizations. I do not judge a person for past discretions. I believe in a open mind and cast no judgment.
I have represented many folks from various backgrounds, from police officers, fireman, priests, doctors, soldiers, stay-at-home moms, fathers, political figures, homeless persons, to children facing very serious crimes. I am a trusted ally to my clients and work hard to helping my clients with their legal matters. I have some active clients that I have been representing since 2002.
Not all attorneys are a good fit for their client. But for our clients, we have been the "go-to" attorney for their legal problems for many years. I hope that I can help and serve you with your matters.

A very honest, conscientious attorney!
I contacted Mr. Baxter regarding helping a friend who does not speak English well. Mr. Baxter responded immediately and after reviewing the case referred my friend to an excellent colleague attorney who could do the job for less expense (out of county). This exhibits his kindness and trustworthiness ...
