Who we are

The Firm

As Chief Deputy Prosecutor and Criminal Court Judge, David Patterson worked every angle of the biggest trials in the district for over 30 years, presiding over 30,000 cases. He has teamed up with Seth Crabtree to make that skill and experience available to the clients of Crabtree & Patterson.

As an attorney, Crabtree has fought all the way to the Tennessee Supreme Court – and won – changing Tennessee law statewide to the benefit of the criminally accused. Read about that victory here.

Additionally, he has taken several of the most severe criminal charges – DUI’s and Felonies with a penalty of 25-60 years in prison – all the way through jury trial – and won. He has secured not guilty verdicts and several full acquittals, exonerating his clients. You can read about those here and here.

Crabtree and Patterson was a blessing. I am in awe of how amazing they were and effective. They were patient with me, and worked with me financially which I greatly appreciated. Everything was taken care of in a swift manner. My ticket was dismissed and they are working to have it expunged from my record. Which I greatly appreciate, because I am a single mother and can’t afford for my insurance to increase anymore. I am thankful that I came across this law firm hopefully I don’t get another ticket out of town, but if I do they would be the first firm I contact.
