Avery Alsup

Avery Alsup is a proud Middle Tennessee native who grew up right on the line between Wilson and Rutherford Counties. She graduated magna cum laude from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology.

Public service has always been part of Avery’s life. Coming from a long line of civil servants on both sides of the county line, she developed an early appreciation for community involvement and the role local government plays in helping people solve real problems. In 2017, after completing an internship with the Wilson County Clerk and Master’s Office, she followed in her family’s footsteps and began working in the Chancery and Probate Courts for Wilson County. She went on to spend nearly seven years working in the court system, where she saw firsthand how confusing and intimidating the legal system can be for people who simply need help. That experience sparked her desire to become an attorney and guide clients through the process with clarity and compassion.

Avery later earned her Juris Doctor from the Nashville School of Law, graduating second in her class. While completing law school, she joined Vasek & Robbins as a paralegal in the summer of 2024 and has since been admitted to the Tennessee Bar. Her practice focuses on general civil matters, including probate and estate planning, conservatorships, contracts, business formation and litigation, and property law.

Outside the office, Avery enjoys spending time with her partner and their beloved dog, Bunker, traveling near and far, and volunteering with local civic organizations. She firmly believes that every person in this country has the right to due process of law and access to justice – a conviction summed up by her favorite line from the landmark Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio:

“Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence.” — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark, Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 659 (1961)
