For over 13 years I have practiced in the Federal and State courts of Tennessee. My practice is focused on representing people, whether you are injured in an accident, hurt on the job, charged with a crime, or experiencing a domestic relations issue. I am committed to my clients by aggressviely fighting to protect their rights and I strive to get the best results under the law. Many cases are resolved by negotation, but sometimes your case must be tried before a jury and I am a seasoned trial attorney.
I am a lifelong resident of East Tennessee, having grown up in Athens, and graduted from McMinn County High School. I earned a B.A. in Political Science from Miami University and a J.D. from the Appalachian School of Law. My office located near downtown Knoxville, right off the interstate. When not in court or at the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening and grilling in the backyard, and exploring the outdoor beauty of East Tennessee.

Best lawyer in Knoxville without question
Mr.Wallace took all the information my wife and I had about my case and turned all of it into a K.O. punch to the D.A. Forrest used his skill and talent to show the jury how the "truth" in a matter really is what the system was designed for. I hope anyone who feels that nobody will help or has your b...
