I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where I got my MA, MA and JD degrees. I practiced law in Nashville for several years before returning to Knoxville in 1985 to join my current firm, which was then known as Morton, Lewis, King & Krieg. Since then, the firm has grown to almost 100 attorneys in Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville, and has changed its name to Lewis Thomason. I am proud to have been a part of my firm's success and to have associated with so many good people through the years.. I am admitted to practice in the state and federal courts in Tennessee, the US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, the US Court of Federal Claims and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.. In addition to serving my private clients, I serve as City Attorney for the City of Sevierville, Tennessee, and am counsel for the City's Public Building Authority and Industrial Development Board. The City has a diligent, intelligent and honest administration that does an outstanding job of dealing with the year round influx of millions of tourists headed for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, as well as the day to day issues facing every city government.

I practice in the areas of estate planning, probate administration, trusts, conservatorships, business law, real estate, employment law and civil litigation.  My priority is my clients – to give them strong advice and timely, effective and efficient legal representation.  If litigation becomes necessary, I will zealously advocate their interests in the state and federal courts of Tennessee.. I am a native and lifelong resident of Knoxville and East Tennessee, except for time spent in college and serving as an officer in the U.S. Navy from 1993-97. While in the Navy, I was privileged to serve aboard the U.S.S. Eisenhower as a squadron intelligence officer.. Outside of the office, I am a husband and father of three, and I enjoy reading (especially history and politics) and camping and hiking with my sons.  I help lead a troop in Trail Life USA, a Christian youth adventure program for boys.  I also participate regularly in the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce and the Tennessee Veterans Business Association..

I graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law, Cum Laude, in 2016. During my final year at UT Law, I was a student attorney in the Innocence and Wrongful Convictions Clinic. My time in the clinic was an amazing, educational experience that allowed me to help people unjustly imprisoned while learning from the mistakes of much more experienced criminal defense attorneys.. Since leaving UT Law and the legal clinic, I have continued my pursuit of helping those unjustly imprisoned and started helping those facing a possible conviction. I strive to provide quality legal representation that protects my clients' rights and ensures a fair, just result.

I believe the law can empower the powerless by providing a fair hearing on a level playing field for everyone regardless of wealth and social position. Unfortunately, sometimes the greatest benefit I can provide a client is to explain why I do not believe they have a case. I try to fairly evaluate each case I have the privilege to review and work to vigorously represent those clients I feel I can benefit. My philosophy as a lawyer is to use my legal knowledge to help people who need help.

I believe that all people who have been charged with a crime deserve to have their rights vigorously defended. I don't care if you've been charged with assault, DUI, a drug or a sex crime; no matter what charge you are facing, you still have rights. At my law firm, Scott C. Frith, Attorney at Law, I work with each client to devise an approach that best reflects that client's goals and priorities. As your criminal defense lawyer, I will do everything in my power to defend your rights and arrive at the best possible outcome to your situation. I also represent clients who need legal representation in a family law or personal injury matter.. Furthermore, I have a deep commitment to my community. I not only live in Knoxville, but also currently serve on the board of directors of the Halls High School Alumni Association, and write a monthly column on local politics and government for the Shopper-News. I am also a past president of Keep Knoxville Beautiful and of the Halls Business and Professional Association, and am a former member of the board of directors of the Legacy Parks Foundation. I take pride in my dogged work ethic, and truly take an interest in achieving the best possible outcomes for my clients. I like to fight, I like to win, and I like to help people of all walks of life who find themselves in a challenging legal situation.. If you've been charged with a crime, waiting to consult a lawyer or giving statements to police without legal counsel can be devestating. I provide free initial consultations to potential clients, so cost is not a factor in getting the initial advice you need to start protecting your rights. To schedule an appointment to discuss your situation, call my office at and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I am Certified as a Civli Tiral Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and a Certified Civil Trial Specialist by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization. I am admitted to practice in Tennessee, the US District Court, Eastern and Middle Districts of Tennessee, the US Court of Appeals, 4th, 5ht, 6th, 8th and 11th Circuits, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

I am a trial lawyer and have been one for 18 years. As such, I focus my practice on personal injury and criminal defense. When you are making a decision to hire an attorney, make sure that your attorney has the experience to take a case to trial and to the appellate level, if necessary. On average, I try about three jury trials and dozens of non-jury trials each year. I typically handle at least one appeal each year. Although most cases resolve themselves short of trial (through mediation or otherwise), you will get the best result when you are prepared to go to a trial.
