Joshua
Joshua B. Dougan is an experienced attorney based in Jackson, Tennessee, whose practice is founded on advocacy, problem-solving, and a commitment to strong relationships.
As a former Assistant District Attorney, Joshua focused on domestic violence and sexual assault cases in Tennessee’s 26th Judicial District from 2019 to 2026. During this time, he tried nearly 100 jury trials, handling cases from first-degree murder to misdemeanor offenses, and developed case tracking systems.
His extensive legal background includes handling a broad range of matters in private practice, including civil litigation, juvenile issues, criminal defense, and appellate advocacy. An experienced trial lawyer, Josh is comfortable in courtrooms across the state. He began his career with a large law firm in West Tennessee, where he concentrated on tort and insurance litigation, workers’ compensation, and civil rights cases.
Today, Joshua leverages his expertise for analysis, decision making, and consensus building across cases. He is a strong proponent of clear, direct communication and believes that in any legal environment—even one driven by technology—sound judgment and strong relationships remain vital.
Joshua earned his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law and his undergraduate degree from Union University.
