"Reaching nearly twenty years of practice is a reflection of the trust clients have placed in this firm during some of the most difficult moments of their lives," said Meredith Mochel, founding attorney of the practice. "Every person who walks through the door deserves someone who will listen carefully, understand the details of the case, and advocate fully on their behalf."

As a criminal defense lawyer in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Mochel has long advised individuals under investigation to seek counsel early and to avoid actions that could result in self-incrimination.
"Anyone facing charges should understand that the choices made in the first hours after an arrest can shape the entire outcome of a case," Mochel said. "Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible remains one of the most important steps a person can take to protect their future."
The firm's cross-border capability distinguishes its practice within the region.
