About Chase

    About us

    Chase Brown has gained notoriety as one of Nashville's premier criminal defense attorneys, having represented clients on thousands of charges, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. Chase is fluent in Spanish and therefore operates a dynamic criminal defense practice. To that end, Chase has a deep understanding of the complex immigration issues that can arise if a non-citizen is facing criminal charges. 


    In 2020, Chase Brown was nominated by Super Lawyers Magazine as a Mid-South "Rising Star" for his body of work in criminal defense and general litigation. He is a member of the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and a graduate of the Tennessee Criminal Defense Trial College. 


    Before starting his own criminal defense practice in 2011, Chase worked as a litigation attorney for a prominent civil law firm located in downtown Nashville.  He defended corporate clients against Federal and State claims of workplace harassment and discrimination, as well as construction companies all across Tennessee against OSHA workplace fatality investigations and general inspections. Chase then transitioned by gaining valuable legal experience as a prosecutor for the State of Tennessee. This experience allows Chase to see and understand both sides of a story--your story.  Whether you are charged with the lowest of misdemeanors or a felony carrying serious jail time, no case is taken lightly.  Nashville Criminal Lawyer Chase Brown is prepared to handle your case respectfully, passionately and wholeheartedly.

    Q&A With Chase

    Why criminal law?

    "Whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony, a criminal charge is a life-changing experience for many. Depending on how a case is handled, a criminal charge may seriously affect the ability to find a good job.  On the other hand, a criminal charge may bring about serious jail time.  I'm passionate about bringing my client through this stressful time and resolving the case to get the results he or she deserves. If we were all defined by one moment in time of poor judgment, with no hope for redemption, we'd all be in a lot of trouble."

    What part of your job do you enjoy most?

    "Letting my clients know that their heavy burden has now become my own - they can relax now." 

    What makes you want to practice criminal defense?

    "I remember one day in college I was accused of stealing gas.  On a hot summer afternoon I stopped by a gas station to buy a Gatorade.  As I left, a police officer caught up with me down the road and said I was a suspect for stealing gas. Back at the store, a clerk said she saw me pull up to a pump, retrieve $5 worth of gas, and drive off without paying.  I pleaded my case but no one would listen.  At that moment, I realized that no matter what I said, there was nothing I could say to convince the officer and store clerk that I was innocent of stealing. By this time, several fellow students had observed the commotion and I was humiliated.


    Thankfully, video surveillance that day confirmed that I had not stolen gas at all.  In fact, it was a person who did not look like me, in a different vehicle, at a time when I was not even there.  I learned first-hand that anyone can be wrongfully accused of a crime.  I also learned that eye witness testimony is the least credible of all the five senses. 


    The problem with this scenario is that it happens every day, but most people do not have the benefit of things like video surveillance.  Every story has two sides -- both deserve to be told."

    What distinguishes you in your profession?

    "There are some things you can teach, and there are other things you simply can't.  I've always found my success to be driven by hard work and the ability to relate to anyone."

    Personal

    Time well spent

    Chase and his church have made regular visits to Honduras for different purposes. The attached picture was taken in a small mountain town called San Marcos de Colón, just south of Choluteca, Honduras. Chase and his team were handing out Christmas gifts this particular visit. At the end of the day, Chase has either lived in or visited in most countries all over Cental and South America, and has a heart and genuine understanding for the people who call him "abogado".
