About Allison
Allison Manning-Carroll is an attorney who built a steady path from Tennessee classrooms to federal courtrooms. She earned her law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 2013 after completing a bachelor’s degree in political science at Tennessee State University in 2009. The two degrees anchor her understanding of both the law and the public policy contexts that shape it.
Early in her career she established credentials in state practice and then expanded into the federal system. She is admitted to practice in Tennessee and holds admissions in multiple federal courts, including the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Those admissions reflect a record of handling matters that proceed beyond state jurisdiction.
Manning-Carroll keeps active in professional circles. Her memberships include the Nashville Bar Association Pro Bono Program, Inc., the Hemp Industries Association, and the Napier-Looby Bar Association. She also maintains membership in other bar groups. These affiliations indicate a range of professional interests, from industry-specific concerns to community-oriented legal service.
Colleagues and clients describe her approach as practical and grounded. She tends to weigh procedural posture carefully and map out realistic next steps. That steadiness is useful in both routine filings and in cases that require federal court appearances. Her admission to the Sixth Circuit allows her to handle appeals when a matter travels beyond the trial level.
Her work has taken her into courtroom practice, client counseling, and matters that intersect with evolving regulatory and industry issues. Membership in the Hemp Industries Association aligns her with attorneys who follow state and federal developments in that sector. Participation in the Nashville Bar Association Pro Bono Program suggests she allocates time to volunteer legal work as well.
Allison Manning-Carroll practices from Manning Carroll Law, where she handles matters arising in state and federal courts. She balances litigation tasks with counseling responsibilities and remains engaged in bar activities that reflect both industry interests and public service.
She currently practices at Manning Carroll Law and concentrates on representation in state and federal courts while remaining involved in industry and pro bono matters.
