Rest in Peace

Joe Crumley has passed away. Joe is seen in this picture teaching students at a DUI Trial Advocacy class in Chattanooga in 2007. Joe had a lot to share. He was the elected District Attorney in the 1st District in East Tennessee for eight years. He also served as a prosecutor before and after that term.

Joe prosecuted every kind of criminal case.

Joe was also one of the first elected District Attorneys to place a prosecutor in a position to exclusively prosecute DUI cases. He understood the need for specialization in traffic safety prosecutions and was committed to traffic safety.

Joe will be missed. He was a public servant first and foremost.
