About

I grew up in Savannah, Tennessee on the Tennessee river.  I attended the University of North Alabama where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science.  In 2000 I moved to Nashville to attend law school at the Nashville School of Law.  During law school I worked as a legal assistant and investigator at the State of Tennessee Attorney General's Office.  My work there took me all across the State and allowed me exposure to a wide variety of legal actions.  When I graduated I opened my own practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with my primary focus on criminal defense.  Since that time I have handled hundreds of DUI and drug cases both locally and across the State.  My primary focus is to make sure that my client's receive the best legal representation possible.

Derek handle my DUI case in an extraordinary way. Very knowledgeable with the DUI laws and was able to help in numerous ways. He was able to get me better results than what we were expecting.

Derek was outstanding. I was a freshly 18 year old who thought i was invincible, even though the system had proved me wrong twice before. From being understanding of being young and making dumb decisions Derek reassurance that this wasn’t my end but my new beginning. He was straightforward with what he would be able to provide for me and never promised anything he couldn’t follow through on. Most importantly his overall compassion for helping others is what sealed the deal on retaining him. I hired Derek on a violation of probation DUI charge for the use of Marijuana. After it was all said and done I was able to plea to a lesser charge that in result allowed me to keep my license, meaning no SR22 insurance, minimal jail time (7 days), the DUI course, some community service, and continued probation. We have since retained Derek a second time for another DUI case in the family that’s still pending. couldn’t recommend Derek enough!
