About

For over 30 years, people faced with a DUI or criminal charges have relied upon me to make sure that one mistake did not ruin their family, career and/or livelihood. The lawyers at my firm have over six decades of experience handling criminal matters from virtually every perspective.  I am not ony a lawyer, but I have been judge for the City of Red Bank handling criminal matters for over 15 years.  My partner, Bret Alexander, is a former DUI prosecutor as well as an assistant U.S. Attorney.   No other firm in town offers the criminal defense, judicial and prosecution experience that we do. All of these things contribute to getting the best result possible for our clients. We are not allowed to say we are the best attorneys in Chattanooga, but most of our clients think so.

I hired Mr. Houston to represent me for a DUI in Soddy Daisy Court. The case looked unwinnable but Mr. Houston found a legal issue that kept the alcohol result from coming into evidence. If you need an attorney, call Houston & Alexander, they are the best

I was in the United States on a work visa. I had an accident and was charged with DUI. This charge caused me great trouble both personally and professionally as it affected my being able to stay in this country. It took a long time and there were some difficulties but Johnny's legal knowledge and experience as well as respect from the DAs and Judges that all contributed to having my charges reduced. The staff at Houston & Alexander were also very responsive and informative and really went the extra mile. Thanks, thanks, thanks for helping me to expand my future.

I had an accident and was charged with leaving the scene. I know in the scheme of things that my case was not near as serious as most of the cases they handle but Johnny and his team treated me well and got the dismissal I was looking for. When we went into the courtroom, it was obvious Johnny had the respect and friendship of the Judge and the courtroom personnel and I knew I was in good hands.

I am a medical professional and faced potentially losing my license in addition to the legal ramifications. I worked with both Bret Alexander and Johnny Houston, both of whom treated me with respect and dignity during a really difficult time. Their entire staff was friendly and responsive, and though my journey lasted just a few months, every possible outcome was thoroughly explained to me so I knew what to expect. Obviously, I don't hope to have to use them again, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to use this firm, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Johnny, and thank you Houston and Alexander!

I was a student at a college near Chattanooga. I was accused of a very serious crime. My parents lived out of state and didn't know who to turn to. We found Mr. Houston and Mr. Alexander online and decided to meet with him. From the get go I knew he was the lawyer that I wanted. He convinced the DA and the detective and my parents and I to take the case slow and not rush anything which was a real possibility. We worked with him and my case for about a year. He convinced the DA and the detective to look at my case a different way. Ultimately my case was dismissed before it even went before the judge. To say my life was saved is the biggest understatement anyone could ever make. I wholeheartedly recommend this law firm.

My husband and I live in the western United States. We traveled to Chattanooga for a Medical matter. We had just arrived that night and had no friends or family in the area. That evening we had an alleged misunderstanding with someone regarding our keys. Things got out of control and the next morning we were arrested and charged with Felonies. In my opinion we were over charged. Desperate we searched for an Attorney. We Called Johny and he agreed to meet with us right away. Johnny was attentive and listened with Empathy. Facing possible jail time and the loss of my husbands job we were terrified. Johnny literally rescued us by swiftly mapping out a plan of action. When we went to court Johnny took the lead, met with the DA and the alleged victim and really smoothed things over. It was apparent Johnny was well respected in the courtroom. He was confident and appeared to get along well with the Prosecutors and Judges. I really think the Experience, Confidence , Respect and honesty he shows in the courtroom with all parties truly affected our case. In the end our cases were passed on good behavior and are set to be dismissed . Johnny also saved us an extraordinary Amount of money by getting our appearance for our return court date waived. We were very fortunate to find Johnny. He is a stand up Gentleman who went above and beyond to help us In our time of need. Thank You, Tana

"I made a mistake five years ago. I was addicted to drugs and i plead guilty to several drug offenses. I relapsed while on probation and a warrant for my arrest was issued. I moved to another State and got into trouble there too. Through the grace of God and with the help of some great people, I turned my life around. I stopped using drugs, got married and was able to get a great job. The warrant was still hanging over though and every day I was afraid of what would happen, would I get arrested on the job, would I be able to make bond? It was very stressful. I called Johnny Houston and I am glad he did. We did not meet in person but spoke often on the phone and via text. He got my case in court quickly. I was very nervous about my outcome but i trusted Johnny to handle things. THE REVOCATIONS WERE DISMISSED! Not only can I get on with my new life, Johnny is also going to help me get my license reinstated. This is a crazy time and I am thankful I called Houston & Alexander to help me. It literally SAVED MY LIFE!

I had hired another law firm and they were getting nowhere with my case. I I was charged with multiple offense DUIs and other charges. Not sure where to turn I contacted the law office of Houston and Alexander. Johnny Houston went the EXTRA MILE! The other law firm negotiated a sentence that may have made me lose my house, my children...everything. Johnny was able to not only get my charges reduced but also the sentence net result was I was able to keep my family together. I have really turned my life around and things are going great! Johnny did not forget about me once the case was over,either. I needed help getting my license and also help with respect to the supervision and Johnny jumped on it!!! He filed paperwork, contacted the DA and the judge and everything worked out better than I could have ever imagined. If you need help “HIRE THIS FIRM!!!”

I made a mistake and was driving when I had a bit too much to drink. I was pulled over and honestly, I said some things I should not have to the officer who was just doing his job. To make matters worse, I had a previous DUI nine and a half years before, so I was charged with a 2nd offense and had to wear an alcohol monitor that immediately became troublesome. Given that I am not a TN resident, I hired an attorney from out-of-state and things were not going my way. Houston & Alexander were recommended and they took over my case. Things immediately got better! At our first court appearance, the mutual respect between the judge and Johnny Houston was obvious. Long story short, my 2nd offense was reduced, I did not lose my job and I could not be happier with the representation from this firm. After the plea, a couple of issues popped up and Houston & Alexander were still there for me, returning my phone calls and providing excellent service. I highly recommend this firm!

I made a mistake and should not have been driving. I was involved in a wreck and was charged with DUI and leaving the scene. Although I thought I was ok to drive, I was charged with DUI and "leaving the scene of an accident." It turned out my alcohol level was over the limit. I am about to graduate college and a DUI conviction would have really hurt my chances of getting a good job. Johnny and Bret told me I had a difficult case and the only guarantee they gave was that they would work hard for me. They NEVER gave up on my case and ultimately persuaded the arresting officer and the DA to reduce the charge. If YOU need help on a DUI or any other case, call them! These men are not only hard working but kind. They made me feel confident in times of great stress and trouble. I am thankful to have met them and to have had them on my team!
