EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY WITH AN ESTABLISHED RECORD OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE

I have been practicing Criminal Defense, exclusively, in the State of Tennessee since 2006.  Most of the cases I handle involve serious felony charges like Rape, Sexual Offenses, Homicides, etc..  Though I have represented hundreds of citizens accused of committing criminal offenses over the years, I will not ask them to post reviews on this site.  As Avvo allows attorneys to add any information they choose to their Avvo profiles once they have claimed them, lawyers can also fabricate "client" reviews and post them to their profiles as well.   If you take the time to read many of the "client" reviews posted on some lawyers's profile pages, you might notice that some of them sound as if they have been written by the same person. Many of them have. 

 

The same applies for "Publications" and "Awards".  This information can be added to the Avvo site without verification.  At my office, we rely on real referrals, from real clients.  If you or a loved-one have been accused of committing a crime in the state of Tennessee, you are already living in a nightmare.  We do not add to your troubles by selling you a padded resume. There is no substitute for a hard-earned reputation.

 

Our office is here to help lessen the fear, pain and embarassment of being publicly accused.  Our skill and experience can help mitigate the consequences of a criminal charge.  This is what we do, and we take pride in how well we do it.

They were a huge part in our family!!!!
My family was so lucky that Doug got handed our case!! He saved my ex-husbands life and we could never ever thank him enough. I had contact with them so much it felt like everyday. He was an excellent attorney for our case!! I know my ex's case, which was about 4 or 5 big binders full, went with them everywhere even to bed with them at night. You couldn't get a better Attorney than him and his Paralegal!!! Love them both soo much. And yes our case was a success as well he was aquited of all charges including a life sentence. They dug Straight in our case and found where the state was trying to screw us over and hide secrets including TBI!!!!!

Mr. Dennis knows the law
I was in a situation as to where I felt I needed a lawyer. I turned to Mr. Dennis for advise. Mr. Dennis took my case in which I went to court to get the issue resolved. Mr. Dennis got the issue taken care of and was by my side the entire time. He takes time to explain to one as to what to expect and never leaves you wandering. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Douglas,

Doug Dennis, an excellent attorney
We've hired Doug Dennis on two separate occasions. He and his office staff were easily accessible and made us feel like we could get in touch with them at any time. He and his staff kept us informed every step through the process and both times of being in court with Doug was a success for us. Everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. We have recommended Doug to some friends of ours, who also hired Him, and their court proceedings were also a success. We would recommend, Doug Dennis to anyone who needs an attorney to fight and win for them, he has done just that for us every time!

Best attorney in the Upper Cumberland area, hands down!
Words cannot express my satisfaction with Doug Dennis Law. His personal focus on each case is unmatched in this area and proves he truly cares. His relentless work on my case gave me a second chance at life and I will forever be grateful! Everyone should think twice before going anywhere other than Doug Dennis Law.
