About Joseph
Biography
I spend my days in court fighting for people who have been accused of a crime and representing people who have been severely injured. In the criminal arena, I have been defending citizens accused of crimes for over a decade, and I know what it takes to handle tough cases. Regardless of the issue, I am a trial lawyer who puts the needs of my clients first. A large part of my criminal practice is focused on drug and alcohol cases - Specifically, marijuana defense and DUI defense.
I am an active member of the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and a graduate from the TACDL Trial Attorney’s College and Advanced Trial Skills College. I know the law and will apply the law to your facts to develop a specific litigation plan that I will execute. I will spend time with you and get to know you and your situation and help you manage the case.
