meet

We all make our fair share of mistakes. Obviously, some have more serious consequences than others. When you’re facing an uphill legal battle, finding an experienced criminal defense attorney is a must. Keep reading as we dive further into the expertise of our Chattanooga lawyers.

John C. Cavett

Mr. Cavett has represented clients in both state and federal courts in Tennessee. Part of what separates Mr. Cavett from other criminal defense lawyers is that he has been counsel on eight death penalty cases, including the recent “Valentine’s Day Murders” case in which all charges were dismissed. Mr. Cavett is also a past president of the Chattanooga Trial Lawyers Association. If you’ve been searching for an experienced defense lawyer, look no further than Mr. Cavett, who has been serving local residents for nearly four decades.

Barry L. Abbott

Mr. Cavett isn’t our law firm's only criminal defense attorney with decades of experience. Barry L. Abbott can handle misdemeanor and felony cases such as DUI, robbery, violent crimes, sexual offenses, and drugs. Mr. Abbott is licensed in Tennessee and Georgia. Don’t head to your first court date without the proper representation. Get in touch with Mr. Abbott and let him go to work on your behalf.

Joshua P. Weiss

Mr. Weiss sets his focus on civil litigation and criminal defense. What makes him such an advocate for clients? For one thing, Mr. Weiss is a keen negotiator and litigator. He routinely achieves results in cases that meet or exceed client expectations. Mr. Weiss, along with our other criminal defense attorneys, truly stands up for the rights of his clients. He takes the time to explain the legal process in a way that clients can then make an informed decision about how to proceed with the case.
