About Federico A
Federico A Flores has built a career that moves between government work and private practice. He has held successive positions in county offices and law firms, and his courtroom admissions include both state and federal jurisdictions. The arc of his resume shows steady movement back toward public service in recent years.
He completed undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, earning a B.A. in Political Science and Economics in 2007. He then attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he received his Juris Doctor in 2010. Those academic steps laid the groundwork for a practice that has ranged across local and federal forums.
Flores began his professional legal work in 2011 at the Knox County District Lawyer General. He moved into private practice in 2015, taking on cases outside the county structure. In 2017 he joined Spicer Rudstrom, PLLC, and later served at Kherani Dunaway, PLLC in 2023. In 2024 he returned to county government as a lawyer in the Knox County Law Director's Office. The pattern of moves suggests comfort in both the demands of private practice and the procedures of public law offices.
He is admitted to practice in Tennessee and is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. His federal admissions include the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. He also holds admission to appear before the United States Immigration Court. Those credentials allow him to work in state and federal trial and appellate settings, as well as immigration proceedings.
Professional memberships include the Knoxville Bar Association, where he has held membership since 2011, and the Tennessee Bar Association, where he has been a member since 2017. He remains active in the bar organizations that serve the regional legal community.
After a period in private practice and several stints at law firms, Flores returned to county service and now works in the Knox County Law Director's Office. He practices law for Knox County and appears in the state, federal, and immigration venues to which he is admitted.
