Representation for Felonies and Misdemeanors


Mr. Jolley represents clients charged with a wide range of felonies and misdemeanors. He spends a great deal of time serving as a domestic violence lawyer.

If you have been charged with a drug crime or other crime, it’s never a good idea to wait. Police and government prosecutors could already be building a case against you. Make sure you have an attorney on your side. Call (865) 512-6578 today to schedule a consultation!
