Ozment Law

We are a boutique law firm dedicated to enhancing social justice and the rule of law for all people. We achieve our vision by aggressively defending and creatively advancing the rights of immigrants and their communities. Our primary experience lies in immigration and nationality law, the criminal defense of immigrants, civil rights and civil liberties, government accountability, and workers’ rights. Our immigration-focused lawyers have been involved in very high-profile cases in Nashville and throughout Middle Tennessee during their decades of practice. Elliott Ozment was instrumental in getting Nashville law enforcement to abandon the use of the 287(g) immigration enforcement program in 2012. This program allowed the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, whose charge is solely the safety and security of all inmates of the county’s jails, to interrogate detainees and recommend deportation for those who were allegedly in violation of immigration law.
