About ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist J. Brad Hannah from Tennessee
J. Brad Hannah is a criminal defense attorney based in Smithville, Tennessee, and has earned the Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation from the American Chemical Society’s Chemistry and the Law Division (ACS-CHAL). He earned the designation by completing the ACS course series in forensic chemistry and passing its examination, training that lets him examine the science behind blood and drug evidence and question it in court. Brad received his B.S. from Tennessee Technological University in 2006 and his J.D. from the Nashville School of Law in 2011. Before opening his own firm in 2022, he spent several years in private practice and served as an Assistant District Attorney in the 14th Judicial District, where he prosecuted DUI and drug cases. He has also trained Middle Tennessee law enforcement officers on DUI detection and ARIDE, the advanced training for spotting drug impairment in drivers. That experience gives him an insider’s view of how impaired-driving cases are built and where they can break down. Today Brad represents clients in DUI, drug, and other criminal matters from his office on the Public Square in Smithville.
