When you are up against criminal charges, you need a lawyer who understands what is on the line. At The Bell Law Firm, every case is personal, because Justin Bell has lived through it himself. Our mission is simple: fight with passion, skill, and focus for the best result possible.
We fight for people whose lives and futures are on the line. A DUI, Drug Charge, or Felony Assault allegation can take away your job, your license, or your freedom. Our mission is to stand between you and the system, to make sure your side of the story is heard, and to build the strongest defense the facts allow.

Justin Bell knows what it feels like to face charges you should not have to fight. Years ago, he was arrested for a DUI he did not commit. That experience changed his life and led him to become a defense lawyer. Today, he puts in the long hours, tough questioning, and detailed preparation he wishes he had back then.
Every client speaks directly with Justin. You will never be handed off to a junior lawyer or shuffled through staff. His approach is straightforward—he will review your charges, break down your options, and fight fiercely for you in and out of the courtroom.
“When people call me, they can hear it in my voice
—I’m passionate about defending them. I’ve been in their shoes, and I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did. I dig into the facts, I hold the system accountable, and I fight to make sure their rights are protected.”
Justin completed advanced DUI roadside enforcement training, giving him an edge in spotting officer mistakes.
Justin digs into every detail—reviewing warrants, cross-examining officers, and even visiting the scene if needed.
We prepare as if every case will go to trial. That preparation gives us leverage in negotiations and strength in the courtroom.
The Bell Law Firm is proud to defend people across Knoxville, Anderson County, and throughout East Tennessee. Mr. Bell’s family has deep roots here, dating back to one of the first families to settle in Cades Cove, a jewel of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
That history drives our commitment to this community and the people who call it home. We know the local courts, the judges, and the DAs—and we are proud to fight for our neighbors when they need it most.
