Welcome to the Lannom and Williams law firm. We are a firm of trial lawyers engaged in criminal defense and civil trial practice that focuses on representing everyday people and small family businesses nationwide — not big corporations, insurance companies, or the government. For the past 16 years Frank Lannom and Keith Williams have used their time and talents to defend people and protect their rights, whether they have been harmed by the actions of corporations, targeted by the government in a criminal investigation, or injured by the carelessness of another.
Over the years this desire to represent the people of our community, not the government or big corporations, focused our practice in the fields of criminal defense and representing injured people in personal injury cases. With Frank focusing on the defense of citizens accused of crimes, and Keith representing injured people, the law firm of Lannom and Williams was formed.
