The Law Office of Douglas K. Dennis is a general practice law firm located in the historic Arcade Building off the Old Courthouse square in Cookeville, Tennessee. 

What We Do       

Our mission is to aggressively represent our client's interests with honor and integrity.  We believe that a hard-earned reputation is worth keeping at any cost, and our clients will always know that their legal matters are being handled with the utmost professionalism and consideration.

Whether your case is of a Civil or Criminal nature, our office is available to help, and we never charge a fee for an initial consultation or review of your legal issues. 

While our first love has always been Criminal Defense work, we represent clients in almost every aspect of Civil Litigation as well. 

We have intentionally kept our staff size to a minimum in order to keep our costs down.  A smaller staff insures that our fees are not driven by the need to pay an outrageous amount of office overhead, but are instead based on the amount of work we actually perform for our clients.

Unlike some larger firms, we understand the fear, apprehension and confusion most people experience when they are exposed to our legal system for the first time.

Many of our clients initially feel as if they have been thrust into another world where everyone speaks a different language, and they have no idea what the rules are.

Our job is to keep our clients well-informed, and we pride ourselves on returning all telephone calls made to our office as soon as possible.  We know how frustrating it can be to feel as if you are being ignored, and make every effort to inform our clients every step of the way.

Many of our former clients have told us that their legal problems "couldn't have come at a worse time".  

Trouble never seems to come when we're prepared for it, and it's amazing how often we run across clients who desperately need the services of an Attorney but, for whatever reason, they do not have the cash available to pay for one. 

One of our clients told us that she wished we took credit cards because she had a lot more credit available to her than cash.   

We asked some of our clients, and prospective clients, if it would be easier for them to pay by credit card than using cash.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have now partnered with a credit processing company in order to provide this option.

We now accept all major credit cards.
