Shelby Hamilton was born and raised in Johnson City, Tennessee, and earned her undergraduate degree from East Tennessee State University before relocating to Nashville to pursue her legal education. She received her Juris Doctor from Belmont University College of Law, where she gained valuable experience working in a range of practice areas, including conservatorships, family law, and criminal law.
After passing the Tennessee Bar, Mrs. Hamilton remained in Nashville, practicing as a criminal defense attorney. In that role, she represented individuals facing serious charges, safeguarding their constitutional rights and advocating for the best possible outcomes in their cases. This experience sharpened her litigation skills and reinforced her commitment to standing up for those navigating complex and high-stakes legal challenges.
Today, Mrs. Hamilton applies that same dedication and advocacy to personal injury law. She is deeply committed to helping injured individuals pursue the compensation they deserve and holding negligent parties accountable. Known for her thorough preparation and client-focused approach, Mrs. Hamilton works diligently to guide clients through the legal process with clarity, compassion, and determination.
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
