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
