I am proud to be part of the team at Houston & Alexander. I have been practicing criminal defense since 2010. For almost five years prior to joining Houston & Alexander, I worked at the Public Defender’s Office, where I handled hundreds of the most difficult cases, from the first court date all the way through appeal. During this time I had major successes in trials and motion hearings. I also successfully argued at the Court of Criminal Appeals, getting two separate murder convictions reversed.

How he did it, I’ll never know
Jay Underwood took my second offense dui and got it reduced to reckless driving. As most of you know usually a second offense of anything would mean guaranteed jail time. That would of meant I would have lost my job, my apartment, my car and most likely my relationship as well. This man didn’t just k...

Excellent Attorney
I am not from Tennessee, but when I was on a trip, I got charged with a DUI in Dunlap. I didn’t know anyone in the area to recommend an attorney. After having a bad experience with another firm, I found Houston and Alexander online. They looked like the most qualified people and had great reviews....

Amazing Outcome!
Im really thankful for the outcome i received! Unfortunately, i allowed alcohol take control over me and ended up making horrible actions which resulted in a DUI. Jay Underwood worked with me on my case. He always checked up on me the day before court! He wanted to make sure I didn’t have any questio...
"I've known Jay Underwood for many years. I first experienced his true abilities when I tried, as a senior state prosecutor, a serious drug felony against him. Since that time, Johnny Houston & I joined forces while Jay became known for overturning two separate homicide convictions, for errors, at the Tennessee Court of Appeals. He tried such a good case, while handling appeals so well, that we had to have him join our team. You can't replace real, in-court experience, like his."
"I am a judge as well as an attorney. Although Jay was originally a solo practitioner, I first got to know him when he appeared before me in my court as a public defender. Jay was always on time, cared about his clients and the outcome of their cases and had a way of pushing issues that he thought should be pushed, without alienating me as a judge or the assistant District Attorney. Some lawyers NEVER acquire that skill. Jay was a division leader at the PD's office and handled a number of successful appeals. When my law office had an opening, Jay was the person we wanted to join us. He is hard-working, never complains and quietly GETS THE JOB DONE! Without reservation, I endorse Jay Underwood."
