Homicide
The late Don G. Owens, Jr. is the rock upon which the Owens Law Firm is built. Mr. Owens was born and raised in Mississippi, moved to Memphis as a young man, and attended Southwestern University in the 1930’s. He later worked in the Pennsylvania steel mills while playing semi-pro football. He joined the Memphis Police Department in 1936, becoming head of the homicide division while attending Southern University Law School. Admitted to the bar in 1940, he practiced law before becoming a special agent with the FBI in 1941. He later joined the Marines and served in the Pacific during World War II. He returned to Memphis to practice law, also serving in the Tennessee General Assembly in the late 1940s. Mr. Owens, who practiced law until age 84, died in 2002.
