West Tennessee Criminal Defense Attorney

Over the course of my legal career I have obtained experience in Immigration Law, Bankruptcy Law, and Divorce and Family Law. I recently switched practice areas and am now focusing on Commercial Litigation and Collections practice.

Our philosophy is simple: I am here to protect my clients and preserve justice. We use an integrated approach to handling legal matters which involves client input and customized legal service. No client's situation is the same and we understand this.

Our focus is “family” law. In today’s world “family” means different things. Whether you’re single, married, divorced or remarried with a blended family, at Putnam Firm your family will become our family. Whatever legal issues arise in your family, Putnam Firm is here to guide you through them. If you or a member of your family is injured, we have the experience necessary to hold the guilty party accountable. Whether you just need advice and drafting of legal papers, or your matter goes straight to court, we’ll be with you the whole way. We’ve been there before.

I am passionate about seeing people treated fairly.  I earned my stripes on some of the toughest cases in Memphis. There is almost no new situation to me in a criminal case in Memphis.  Criminal Defense attorneys work more in court than almost any other types of lawyers under impossible circumstances.  What is truly important to get results in this business is treating your peers - including opponents and prosecutors - with respect.  I know that my behavior reflects on my clients, and I never forget that.. Transitioning to a civil courtroom gives an experienced criminal defense litigator a whole set of extra tools at his disposal. Family law requires a sense of what is important outside the courtroom. How does a broken family move forward? By getting it right the first time so that everyone can move on to start their new lives.
