About William

William “Will” Conway moved back home to Tennessee and started William J Conway Esq. PC, a solo practice, exclusively dedicated to criminal defense in 2008. Since starting his practice in Nashville, Mr. Conway has handled cases ranging from first-degree murder down to simple drug possession cases. Additionally, Mr. Conway has handled several complex wire-tap drug conspiracy cases. A mutual passion for defending citizens accused of crimes brought Mr. Conway to Bell, Tennent, & Frogge, PLLC where he served in an Of Counsel capacity for 5 years. After one partner left to become Executive Director of the Public Defender’s Conference and another went to pursue Federal Death Penalty work, BTF split up and Mr. Conway went back to having a solo practice. He devotes his practice to representing those accused of crimes and is an experienced trial attorney having handled thousands of criminal cases at various stages in trial and appellate court levels. Mr. Conway has handled over 20 First Degree Murder cases and has never lost one at trial and has never had a First Degree Murder conviction.

Mr. Conway also handles Title IX claims from all of the local universities. He has successfully represented Respondents accused of Title IX violations at Vanderbilt, MTSU, and Belmont.

Routinely, Mr. Conway is consulted by local media outlets to provide expert analysis on various aspects of criminal defense.

Born and raised in Knoxville, Mr. Conway attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

I have never had any experience with even having to hire a lawyer or even talk to one anytime previously in my life, and when that time came all those thoughts racing through my head from A-Z, not knowing if I should call and ask certain things or just sit and continue to worry myself daily. I’m here to tell you that when I made that call to Will, he did more than take all those worries away... when the day came he also got all my charges taken away. Both DISMISSED along with NO COURT FEES. I can’t rave about this life changing attorney enough. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and understand what the process could/would look like. Never was there a time where he didn’t have time for me and my overthinking. He was always on the other line at any time I felt the need to make that call to him just to put my mind at ease. I couldn’t have imagined the outcome that he fought to be able to come back and voice to me that day. It’s been such a pleasure having him on my side and ready to go up to bat for me.... with a HOME RUN for the WIN. Never would I second guess having him beside me again if there ever was another time of need. He’s the go-to if anyone ever asks me, make that call and experience the unforgettable feeling of actually having someone who will go out of their way to be able to bring back the best news you could have ever imagined when that day comes. You won’t be able to forget that feeling or the man that made it all happen. The BIGGEST thanks to you again Will! Changed my life for the best!

Mr. Conway is solid and proficient. He will help turn a negative situation into a diminished blip that you can leave in the past and move forward with your life. He will provide compassion and straight-forwardness at the same time. He thoroughly examines the options available and finds what is best for you. He will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of. I would highly recommend his service to anyone I know in need of legal assistance!

I made a mistake 3 years ago and was charged with a DUI. A conviction would have cost me a job and possible future opportunities. Thankfully, Mr. Conway negotiated the charge down and I got to keep my license. Without him I may not be where I am today.
