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.

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. Everyt...
