Kate Delk

Firm: The Law Office of Kate Yeager Delk
725 Cool Springs Blvd. , Franklin , Tennessee 37067
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am attorney Kate Yeager Delk, and I have been working in Tennessee's justice system for more than 11 years. I represent individuals defending their rights and protecting their futures.Prior to opening my own practice, I prosecuted cases in the 21st Judicial District (Hickman, Lewis, Perry, and Williamson counties) for 10 years. I tried numerous cases over those 10 years and know what it takes to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, as a former prosecutor, I negotiated thousands of cases, and I know how the other side thinks. This unique perspective means I can help protect my clients - both today and in the future. My experience means I know how hard it is for defendants to protect themselves and their rights and how important an experienced attorney is.. After graduating from Washington and Lee School of Law, I clerked for the Court of Criminal Appeals under Judge Tommy Woodall. As one of his two Law Clerks, I researched numerous criminal law issues and drafted opinions.

Kevin W. Shepherd, Attorney At Law. For most people, legal issues are stressful and confusing. They must make the most important decisions of their lives without truly understanding their legal rights, which may have changed recently due to the alteration of local, state and federal laws. I chose a career in law specifically because of a strong desire to provide hands-on care to people who often feel powerless to protect their rights in stressful circumstances.. I am Maryville attorney Kevin W. Shepherd. After beginning my legal career working in the office of the District Attorney and as a Public Defender, I learned that the people in my community needed individualized legal support. I founded my law firm to meet that need.. During my more than 20 years of legal experience, I learned that the community needs legal support for individual and family issues. A large part of my practice focuses on family law and personal injury law, but each client has unique needs and concerns. I establish a close, long-term, first-name relationship with my clients. My clients know they can ask questions at any time, and they trust me to treat their legal issues with honesty and integrity. This is why so many individuals I have worked with send new clients my way through enthusiastic referrals.. As founder of a Maryville personal injury and divorce law firm, I believe in using my skills and knowledge to advocate for the rights of individuals and families. My two other areas of focus are my family and the education of other attorneys and the public about the law. I also served as the elected county commissioner for eight years, and believe in the importance of community involvement.. When you face legal issues, you need an attorney who provides compassionate guidance and information needed to make informed decisions comfortably and without undue anxiety. For more information, or to schedule a consultation with me, Kevin Shepherd, Attorney At Law, call or fill out the contact form on this website.

Kevin Hargis

600 GEORGIA AVENUE , Chattanooga , Tennessee 37402
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Kevin grew up in rural East Tennessee. His parents divorced when he was nine years old, but continued to feud throughout the remainder of his childhood, giving him unique insight into the needs of Family Law clients. As a result of that divorce, Kevin changed schools multiple times before eventually graduating from Central High School in Wartburg, Tennessee.. In his youth, Kevin had more than a few run-ins with The Law, and developed his desire to practice law partially as a result of having hired bad attorneys or having to represent himself because he couldn’t afford an attorney.. Preferring work to school, Kevin spent several years working as a lineman before going to college. He started that career as a ditch-digger on a buried cable placement crew. From there, he advanced to lineman, then to inspector, and finally to design engineer.. Looking to travel, Kevin took the jobs that no one else wanted, in places no one else wanted to go. He dug ditches, swung hammers, and climbed poles & towers. He created maps and digital models. He planned utility systems.. Kevin traveled the nation building those utility systems. Doing so, he developed the skills that placed him on the team that designed the fastest internet in the world for Chattanooga’s EPB.. That, however, was not his calling. Kevin always wanted to practice law. After their children finished school, Kevin and his wife decided it was time for him to pursue that career. So, Kevin left his job with the Electric Power Board, and entered law school.. Kevin is the only graduate of The University of Tennessee College of Law on record to complete both the Concentration in Business Transactions and the Concentration in Advocacy & Dispute Resolution. To accomplish this, Kevin carried a full load every semester, took summer classes, did an independent study, and used seasonal and holiday breaks to study.. During law school, Kevin served as a clerk for U.S. District Judge Clifton Corker and for Chief Bankruptcy Judge Marcia Parsons, both in Greeneville, TN.. After law school, Kevin joined a Chattanooga-based firm where he spent a decade representing and consulting with a wide variety of clients.. In January of 2025, with the intention of providing better representation at a lower cost, Kevin left that firm to start his own. That is how Hargis Law came to be.. Kevin’s blue-collar background and lived experiences give him the ability to better relate to our clients and understand their needs. He strives to provide zealous representation at a reasonable cost.. Text Hargis Law at to schedule a consultation. Feel free to text any day, any time, and we will respond as soon as we are available!. Kevin currently limits his litigation practice to East Tennessee courts, where he practices Criminal Defense and Family Law.. This geographical limit does not apply to his transactional practice, and he handles Wills, POAs, Advanced Healthcare Directives (aka Living Wills), Business Entity Formation, and Trademark work for folks outside of the East Tennessee area as well as for those within it.

I graduated from Hixson High School in Hixson, Tennessee and did my undergraduate studies, with a dual major in Honors Political Science and English, at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.  My JD (law) degree came from the George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC, where I finished first as an oralist in the Phillip Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition and was appointed to be a Member of the GW Moot Court Board..

Katherine Oberembt

Firm: Katherine Oberembt Law PLLC
917 S. Cooper St. , Memphis , Tennessee 38104
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
After graduating from Yale Law School in 2012, Katherine Oberembt moved to the Bluff City and began a career defending the people of Memphis and Shelby County. For more than a decade, she has represented clients charged with all levels of criminal offenses, with a particular focus on serious felony charges, including First Degree Murder. Time and time again, Katherine has achieved favorable outcomes for her clients, including dismissals, by filing comprehensive and innovative motions, marshalling expert witnesses in her clients’ defense, and artfully negotiating advantageous settlements. But when negotiation fails, Katherine — a skilled trial lawyer with a history of favorable verdicts, including acquittals — isn’t afraid to take your case to trial.. Any encounter with the criminal legal system is disruptive and disconcerting: Katherine prioritizes communicating with her clients and guiding them through the legal process with empathy and compassion. Katherine knows that every single person who encounters the criminal legal system has dreams, hopes, ambitions, and people who depend on them. Whether appointed or retained, she fights to achieve the outcomes her clients desire and deserve.
