Frank Lannom

FRANK LANNOM concentrates his practice in the defense of citizens accused of crimes. The principle of his practice is simple: he believes that you have to care for the people you represent. This ideology results in a personal, specialized approach to each case. He adamantly holds that concern and empathy for those he represents, thus forming the core of his practice. This sincerity insures not only that everything that can be done will be done, but also that, whether he is defending the wealthy or the worker, it will be done to the best of his ability.

Widely varying in type and intensity, the range of cases that Mr. Lannom handles spans from phone harassment to numerous high profile murder cases. The focus of Mr. Lannom’s practice is complex criminal charges, notably driving under the influence (DUI) charges. His clientele includes those individuals such as airline pilots and truck drivers whose employment or current situation in life would make the penalties of a DUI conviction unbearable, as well as reaching out to any individual seeking to avoid a lengthy trial process and potential conviction. His trial work results in DUI verdicts of not guilty, homicide acquittals and many other not guilty verdicts regarding similar situations. More importantly, his pre-trial efforts result in charges being dismissed or lowered, avoiding the dangers and expense of lengthy jury trials. Many of Frank's clients have been found not guilty, while other clients avoided the harsh penalties called for under criminal statutes.

While the individualized care he shows his clients distinguishes him ethically and personally, Mr. Lannom is also highly qualified and renowned as a defense attorney. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University, he obtained his law degree from the prestigious University of Tennessee School of Law in 1992. He is a highly recognized member of The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and The Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He has fourteen years of experience practicing law in multiple jurisdictions and he is frequently invited to speak and offer educational information to prestigious organizations such as The Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and The Tennessee Association of the Trial Lawyers. His hard work in defending citizens is chronicled in newspapers and his writings are published in articles used to train and educate other lawyers.

Frank Lannom currently resides in Gladeville, Tennessee with his wife, Mesha, their sons, Isom and Ranch, and their daughter, Savannah Kelee.
