About Jay Underwood

I am proud to be part of the team at Houston & Alexander. I have been practicing criminal defense since 2010. For almost five years prior to joining Houston & Alexander, I worked at the Public Defender’s Office, where I handled hundreds of the most difficult cases, from the first court date all the way through appeal. During this time I had major successes in trials and motion hearings. I also successfully argued at the Court of Criminal Appeals, getting two separate murder convictions reversed.

Lawyers.com Review

“I've known Jay Underwood for many years. I first experienced his true abilities when I tried, as a senior state prosecutor, a serious drug felony against him. Since that time, Johnny Houston & I joined forces while Jay became known for overturning two separate homicide convictions, for errors, at the Tennessee Court of Appeals. He tried such a good case, while handling appeals so well, that we had to have him join our team. You can't replace real, in-court experience, like his.”
