About

For over 10 years I have practiced in the Federal and State courts of Tennessee.  My practice is focused on representing people, whether you are injured in an accident, hurt on the job, charged with a crime, or experiencing a domestic relations issue.  I am committed to my clients by aggressviely fighting to protect their rights and I strive to get the best results under the law.  Many cases are resolved by negotation, but sometimes your case must be tried before a jury and I am a seasoned trial attorney.         I am a lifelong resident of East Tennessee, having grown up in Athens, and graduted from McMinn County High School.  I earned a B.A. in Political Science from Miami University and a J.D. from the Appalachian School of Law.  My office located in downtown Knoxville near the Old City.  When not in court or at the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening and grilling in the backyard, and exploring the outdoor beauty of East Tennessee. If you or a loved one are in need of legal advise, call me for a free consultation today.

I was very UN lucky when i first moved here to Knoxville. One night i was randomly pulled over by a very insecure cop who needed to take one out on me. I am just a poor starving artist from LA with particularly poor mental proclivities when randomly provoked, so wouldn't u know, for the very first time in my law-abiding proper citizenly life, i find myself behind bars and at the mercy of a heartless state? Enter the title of this review. When u are assigned a court-appointed attorney, in the vast majority of cases, u are on your own, barely being able to even meet the lawyer 5 mins before your case, and LIFE, goes up before the Judge. Not only was i completely vindicated and set free that very hour of that very day, i hired Mr Wallace to represent me and charge the offending officer with false arrest. This man dazzled in court, heading off each and every thwart, sharply aware of any legal malfeasance the amateurs tried to throw at us and in spite of my own very-unaccustomed-to-court type behavior, walked out of there victorious, leaving judge and jury completely stunned. This man is not just a Lawyer. Trust me, he is a Law Artist!!

I consulted with Mr. Wallace regarding what I feared would be an expensive and time-consuming traffic matter. He was exceedingly generous in sharing his time and expertise over the phone, and was also quite clear regarding his fees. After explaining the relevant statutes and clarifying the range of possible outcomes, Mr. Wallace referred me to an attorney in my county that succeeded not only in having my case dismissed, but also was able to do so for a more-than-reasonable fee. I am grateful for his generosity and expertise, without which I would not have known what to do or where to turn. I strongly recommend Mr. Wallace to anyone in need of consultation or representation in his practice areas.

Mr.Wallace took all the information my wife and I had about my case and turned all of it into a K.O. punch to the D.A. Forrest used his skill and talent to show the jury how the "truth" in a matter really is what the system was designed for. I hope anyone who feels that nobody will help or has your back seeks this man out. Forrest has a friend for life in me..Jason G

Mr. Wallace represented me in a civil matter. He went well over and above the norm to help me. His knowledge of the law was outstanding, and he was very successful in my case. I can't stress enough how much Mr. Wallace helped me!
