“Seth had an optimist’s enthusiasm from the very start and something just felt right about hiring him. He carried himself like someone who could make something happen, and his immediately apparent intelligence impressed me… Watching him work was a confidence boost in and of itself, as no other lawyer in the court room looked like they would be able to do for me what Seth did. In the end, he managed to exceed my most hopeful expectations and got my case dismissed entirely!”

Extremely knowledgeable and hard working.
Mr. Crabtree is highly professional and an excellent attorney. He is informative and keeps in constant contact with his clients. He goes the extra mile to make sure his clients understand their case and what options they have. I was extremely pleased with how Mr. Crabtree handled my case.

Dependable and Helfup
Seth is an awesome lawyer. He’s helped me through several things that would have turned out badly without him. He is honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly reliable. He always gets back to me and if he doesn’t know the answer, he knows how to find it out. He always answers phone calls and text messages and is determined to do what he needs for his clients. I will continue to use him!

A message from sheth
What's your story?
What do you say when people ask, “So, what’s your story?” Well, here’s what I tell them:
I was raised “on the mountain” in Monterey, Tennessee. After high school, I enrolled in Tennessee Tech on the HOPE Scholarship. While at Tech, I joined honors and civic organizations, taking on leadership roles and expanding my horizons. Four years later I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.9 GPA in the highest ranks of my class.
Following college, I took the law school entrance exam and scored in the top 10% of the nation. I was accepted by each law school I applied to, but after much prayer and deliberation with my family I opted for a full-paid academic scholarship to the University of Tennessee over Vanderbilt. My experience at UT was second to none. While still a student, I was granted a limited license to practice law by the Tennessee Supreme Court, as well as compete nationally in Washington, D.C. for mock trial competitions, and study International Law abroad in Sydney, Australia.
After passing the bar in 2012, I returned home and opened my own practice. As a solo attorney, I secured countless dismissals for my clients, took the most serious criminal charges (A-Level Felonies 25-60 year sentence) to trial and won, fought all the way to the Tennessee Supreme Court – and won – changing Tennessee law statewide.
In 2019, my career as a solo attorney came to an end. A man I greatly respected and tried many cases in front of retired – Criminal Court Judge David Patterson. Astonishingly, one of the most respected members of the bar, David contacted me and expressed a desire to team up, and fight together for clients as Crabtree & Patterson. Of course, I said hell yes.
Then in 2021, we sought to grow our firm and the legal services we provide our clients. We pursued Mike Giaimo, an experienced trial veteran with one of the most vast and varied resumes in our community. Mike has litigated more types of cases in 23 years than most lawyers will in a career. Mike agreed to come on board and work with our team. In addition, Casey Brown joined the firm with a desire to work family law and civil cases. I was again honored these men respected our philosophy as a firm and desire to help others.
As an attorney, I’ve learned what it is to be a professional; to fight for the people who place their trust and future in my hands. People always tell me, “Seth, I couldn’t see you doing anything else.” (I still haven’t figured out if that’s a compliment). But now that you know a little about me, Read My Reviews and get an idea of what I bring to the table for my clients, then call today so we can discuss your case. I want to know, “What’s your story?”
