Thomas T. Overton | Nashville Criminal Defense Lawyer

I am Tommy Overton, and I have represented hundreds of clients for over 30 years as a criminal defense lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee. If you have been charged with a crime, do not wait. Take immediate action, and contact me to learn about your options.

My vast experience as a criminal defense attorney has taught me many things, one of them being how frightening it can be to be charged with a crime. I have represented numerous people who are facing serious, life-changing criminal charges.

When you hire me as your defense lawyer, your problems become my problems. Your worries become my worries. When we meet for the first time, I can give you the facts, explain your options and help relieve some of the tension you are feeling.

You will have my cellphone number and I am available to answer your phone calls at all hours of the day and night.

Criminal law is my life’s work — it has been for over 30 years — and I do it very well.
