Defending Tennesseans.
Defending Tennessee.
We believe liberty is worth defending.
The very first Tennesseans crossed the mountains looking for a better life, one where they could be the masters of their own fates, free from the oppression of the British Crown.
They built a state grounded in liberty, where the rights of each individual are jealously guarded and vigorously protected.
We aim to keep it that way.
Ted Engel
District Public Defender
