A Nashville Lawyer that Fights for Your Rights

Litigation & Defense Specialties​

Most attorneys know one side of the courtroom. Tim Gilbert has worked both and that changes EVERYTHING about how your case gets built.

The firm’s Criminal Defense practice focuses on DUI and BUI, drug crimes, domestic violence, and weapons offenses. While our core mission centers on plaintiff-side Personal Injury representation and defense against criminal charges, we also provide Civil Litigation services on a selective, case-by-case basis.

Middle Tennessee and Beyond

We provide legal advocacy across the Nashville Metropolitan Area, serving clients throughout Davidson and Williamson Counties, including Franklin and Brentwood.

Our practice extends to the high-growth communities of Rutherford, Sumner, and Wilson Counties, representing individuals in Murfreesboro, Gallatin, Hendersonville, and Mt. Juliet. By maintaining a localized presence across Middle Tennessee, we ensure that our analytical approach to litigation and criminal defense is accessible to those in need of rigorous regional representation.
