About Sunny
Biography
I am an attorney practicing in Nashville and surrounding counties. The heart of my practice is criminal defense and trademarks but I am also a general practice attorney, representing clients in a variety of areas such as divorce, small business matters, property seizures, entertainment contracts, personal injury and small claims. Here at The Law Office of Sunny Eaton, we have a client-centered approach to the practice of law. Life is hard, dealing with your attorney shouldn't be.
