Trial Attorney – Criminal Defense | Michael & Associates | Nashville, TN

Michael & Associates is redefining the standards of criminal defense in Tennessee. Following our impressive growth and accomplishments in Texas, we are excited to introduce our successful model—rooted in innovation, teamwork, and a heightened level of client service—to Tennessee.

We have ambitious goals: within the next three years, we strive to become the leading and most efficient criminal defense firm in the nation, while creating an environment where attorneys can flourish both personally and professionally, ensuring that every client receives outstanding representation along with truly exceptional service.

Who We Are

We are revolutionizing the conventional defense law firm approach by merging outstanding courtroom advocacy with cutting-edge technological advancements. By leveraging digital marketing, automation, and data-centric hiring practices, we broaden our outreach, enhance our outcomes, and create a contemporary, progressive legal organization.

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.
