E. Lynn Dougherty
A native of Radford, Virginia, I earned my law degree from the University of Richmond, T.C. Williams School of Law in 1981. I then served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy JAG Corps until 1984, when I joined a large litigation firm in Norfolk, Virginia. In 1990, I moved my practice to Bristol, Tennessee. I represent individuals and businesses throughout northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia.
I have the unique distinction of being the only private attorney in Sullivan County who is Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 13 certified to argue death penalty cases. This certification requires extensive trial experience and proven, in-depth knowledge of death penalty defense strategy.
