Houston & Underwood, PLLC

I can’t thank Jay Underwood enough for the incredible job he did handling my case. From day one, he was professional, thorough, and genuinely cared about helping me through a very stressful situation. He took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and fought hard for the best possible outcome. If you ever find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney who’s honest, sharp, and completely on your side, I highly recommend Jay Underwood. He’s the kind of lawyer who not only defends you but truly believes in you.

I can’t say enough about this law firm. Thank you so much Mr. Houston and Mr. Underwood and staff for taking care of what was a huge burden to my family. Justice was served and we can now begin the rebuilding process. I recommend this amazing team to anybody who wants a fair chance.

Jay Underwood is an excellent attorney. He is extremely competent and point blank period he gets the job done, and I he does it properly. I felt confident during a time that I could have felt at unease. I am exceptionally content with the outcome of my case. On top of this, Jay expedited the process that could have been prolonged for an extended period of time. I enjoyed working with Mr. Underwood and (I hopefully will not need to) but, will be going back to Mr. Underwood if there are future issues for different situations. YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH ATTORNEY-AT-LAW JAY UNDERWOOD. I highly suggest Jay if you have any legal issues yourself or for a family member. I will be referring Jay to anyone who confronts me concerning a reference for an Attorney. P.S. From a non legal standpoint Jay is a great guy and is the type of man you would want to grab a beer with. I cannot give enough praise on his character and ability. Thank you Jay Underwood!

A relative had some very serious criminal charges. Johnny Houston was instrumental in dealing with the charges, such that he made the best of a very troubling situation. Even though the matter was difficult and involved State and Federal issues, Mr. Houston's influence was a very big part of a positive outcome. His office was also polite and responsive to my inquiries. I highly recommend Mr. Houston if you need a really good attorney.

Can’t express how thankful I am! Thanks to Jay Underwood, a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I got the best possible outcome - better than I expected or even hoped for. He has been there every step along the way and had my back completely. He is very smart and honest. While he didn’t promise any certain outcome, he remained optimistic and helped keep me calm during the process. He fought hard for me when I needed someone in my corner, and I can’t recommend him enough if you need help.

I would give them ten stars if I could. Jay was my attorney, I was facing a serious charge and from the moment I met with him I felt very optimistic. He listened to my story and talked to me on a personal basis and I can tell he actually cares about his clients. He always answers the phone or responds promptly. He never made any promises, but the charges were completely dismissed and I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. If you need the best, you found them here. Worth every penny. Thank you Jay.

In April of 2023, I faced a serious legal matter and sought the assistance of the Houston Alexander law firm. After meeting with Mr. Johnny Houston, I immediately felt better and reassured about my situation. He was compassionate, affable & knowledgeable about my case & was confident he could minimize the legal ramifications I could be facing. He answered many questions from myself, as well as my concerned family. He made himself very available to me during the pre-court date phase. On the day of court, he met me & had already made arrangements to bring a very positive outcome to my case (conditional dismissal). He stood by me when I approached the judge & did everything in his power to minimize all penalties, including getting me out of paying expensive court costs. My family & myself were very pleased with the outcome. After the court date, he continued to be supportive & promptly filed the paperwork to get my case dismissed & expunged. He supplied me with documents needed to help me in my employment search. The staff of Houston & Alexander were also wonderful & of great assistance during this trying time. The paralegals were knowledgeable & quickly answered questions & submitted documents & files to the my case online portal. I highly recommend the Houston Alexander law firm to anyone facing a legal situation. They will represent you with care, compassion & the utmost professionalism. They are definitely among the top legal firms in the Chattanooga, TN area. Thank you again to Johnny & the entire Houston Alexander team!
