The lawyers

The four of us

Every case has one lawyer who leads it and knows it best. Here's who leads what.

  • Sunhee Kwan, in a black double-breasted suit, arms crossed, against a grey backdrop

    Sunhee Kwan

    Founding partner

    Sunhee leads the firm's assault and serious drug cases, and most of its jury trials. She reads every police report twice: once for what it says, once for what it leaves out. Clients say she's blunt about their odds. She'd rather you hear a hard answer from her in week one than from a judge in month nine.

  • Renard Lattimore, in a black blazer and maroon shirt, against a grey backdrop

    Renard Lattimore

    Founding partner

    Renard leads the firm's DUI and vehicular cases, in Tennessee and in the Mississippi courts just south of the city. He starts every case with the license hearing, because it has the shortest deadline and because the officer's testimony there is often the first time anyone has asked them a question under oath.

  • Cyrus Pettigrew, smiling, in a black suit and striped tie, against a dark backdrop

    Cyrus leads the firm's drug cases and writes most of its motions to suppress evidence. He reads warrants line by line against what officers actually searched, and he's practiced in Arkansas as well as Tennessee, which matters in a city where a short drive crosses the river.

  • Odalys Fontenot, in a green blazer, against a white backdrop

    Odalys Fontenot

    Of counsel

    Odalys handles expungements from start to finish, along with misdemeanor assault, theft and drug charges. She pulls a client's full record before the first meeting, because people often have a charge they've forgotten, and she meets clients in Spanish as easily as English.

How we work

One lawyer, one file, start to finish

The lawyer you meet first is the lawyer who stands next to you in court. We don't hand cases down to someone you've never met.

Before a trial, the four of us read the file together and argue it out, the way a prosecutor would. It's the cheapest way we know to find the weak spot before a jury does.

You hear from your lawyer when anything changes, and you never have to chase us for an answer about your own case.

Not sure whose case yours is?

Call the main line. We'll ask a few questions and put you with the right lawyer.
