A Former Federal Prosecutor in Your Corner
Most defense attorneys have only ever seen the inside of a courtroom from one side. Corey B. Shipley has seen it from both – and that makes all the difference.
As a former Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA), Corey led the prosecution of hundreds of complex federal cases, including matters spanning both domestic and international jurisdictions. He won his first jury trial within a month of entering private practice, and he has continued building a track record of results for clients facing the most serious challenges of their lives.
Since founding Shipley Law Firm in Johnson City in 2025, Corey has been dedicated to providing aggressive, high-level representation in criminal defense, including federal cases, drug offenses, and serious felonies, as well as personal injury and civil rights litigation throughout Northeast Tennessee.
When you hire Shipley Law Firm, you’re not getting a lawyer who guesses how prosecutors think. You’re getting one who was a prosecutor.
