About Marissa
Marissa Knight is an attorney based in Tennessee. She earned a B.S. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and went on to receive her J.D. from Nashville School of Law in 2017. Her legal education combined classroom study and practical training, preparing her for courtroom practice and client advocacy.
She is admitted to practice in Tennessee and in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Those admissions allow her to handle matters at both the state and federal levels. She appears in filings and hearings in local courts and in the federal system that covers the greater Nashville area.
Knight serves as a lawyer at Freeman & Fuson. At the firm she works on matters that require courtroom experience, managing pretrial work, motions, and the procedural steps that lead to resolution by settlement or adjudication. Her role at the firm involves working directly with clients, preparing court documents, and coordinating with colleagues to move cases forward.
Colleagues describe her work style as steady and practical. She prioritizes clear communication with clients and focuses on the procedural details that influence case outcomes. She prepares witnesses for hearings and drafts pleadings and briefs when litigation calls for them. Day to day, that means balancing document work with court appearances and client meetings.
Since completing law school in 2017, Knight has built a practice that uses her admissions in Tennessee and the Middle District to serve clients in both state and federal matters. She practices at Freeman & Fuson and concentrates on representing clients in Tennessee state courts and in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
