Michael & Associates is setting new benchmarks for criminal defense in Tennessee. After experiencing significant growth and success in Texas, we are thrilled to bring our proven model—anchored in innovation, collaboration, and an enhanced level of client service—to Tennessee.

Our aspirations are bold: over the next three years, we aim to establish ourselves as the foremost and most effective criminal defense firm in the country, while fostering an environment where attorneys can thrive both personally and professionally, ensuring that each client receives exceptional representation accompanied by truly outstanding service.

Who We Are

We are transforming the traditional model of a defense law firm by combining exceptional courtroom advocacy with state-of-the-art technological innovations. Through the use of digital marketing, automation, and data-driven recruitment strategies, we expand our reach, improve our results, and develop a modern, forward-thinking legal practice.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Trial Attorney with a demonstrated track record of success in Tennessee’s criminal courts. The ideal candidate will have expertise in litigation, exhibit strong courtroom credibility, and be deeply committed to upholding the rights of the accused.

In this position, you will manage both felony and misdemeanor cases from arraignment through to trial, supported by a dedicated team of attorneys, investigators, and professional staff. This is a remarkable opportunity to influence the development of our Tennessee practice and play a role in one of the nation’s fastest-growing criminal defense firms.
