I completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2004. I graduated with honors from the Nashville School of Law in 2009 earning a membership in the prestigious Cooper’s Inn Honor Society. While in law school, I was a student member of the Harry Phillips American Inn of Court in 2009.

I am admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. I have been a member of the Tennessee Association for Justice since 2008. In 2012, I was appointed as a Presidential Nominee to the Tennessee Association for Justice’s Board of Governors, and I currently serve on the Board today. I have been a member of the Nashville Bar Association since 2007. Beginning in 2012, I have served on the board of the Nashville Bar Association Young Lawyer’s Division. I have been a member of the American Association for Justice since 2009.

I was recognized by my peers as Best of the Bar for 2014 in the Nashville Business Journal.

Thank you Roy!

The BEST!!
I recommend using this firm for anything that life may throw your way. I took my case to them and from day 1 that handled my case like it was fragile (with care). All i had to do was go to my appointments and confirm that i did go and they took care of EVERYTHING else for me. So if you are looking for someone who WILL GET IN THE RING AND WIN!!!! These are the people i HIGHLY recommend you to bet on. If they don't have the practice area for you injury or etc they will forward you to someone that does. I call Russell and Anna my family because that's how they treated me. If i emailed they replied back within a day or called back if i left a message about any concern. These are the people i would us for anything that i need a lawyer for because they ARE the BEST! So if you or someone you know is looking for a very experienced attorney... look no further because you've came across the right firm.
