‍

• Tier 1, Nashville – Criminal Defense: General Practice
  
• Tier 1, Nashville – Criminal Defense: White-Collar

This recognition highlights what sets Litson apart from traditional big-law firms: an elite team of trial attorneys, former federal prosecutors, and complex litigation strategists who approach every case with precision, creativity, and long-term focus.

‍

Unlike large institutional firms, Litson operates with the efficiency and adaptability of a boutique—offering direct access to senior counsel and unified defense strategies across trial, appeal, and post-conviction work.

‍

Our work blends federal trial experience, white-collar focus, and high-stakes litigation into a defense approach that consistently outperforms big-law conventions.

‍

Earlier this year, The Best Lawyers in America® recognized Alex Little and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America honored Zack Lawson for their excellence across multiple practice areas. This further reflects the depth of talent within the firm.

‍

With offices in Nashville and Knoxville, Litson continues to represent clients nationwide in federal criminal defense, regulatory enforcement, and complex litigation.

This recognition reinforces what clients already know — Litson takes a different approach to defense. Explore more about our integrated strategy throughout this site to see how our methods deliver results that big-law structures simply can’t match.
