The most important task of a criminal defense lawyer is to protect the rights of the accused. Whether you are facing relatively minor misdemeanor charges or are accused of a violent felony, the law requires that you be given the benefit of the doubt. Our Nashville criminal defense attorneys work diligently to ensure that law enforcement, prosecutors, and the courts respect your rights.
If you contact us as soon as you are arrested, we could be present when the police question you to ensure they do not overstep and represent you at your arraignment and arrange bond, if applicable. We could also be available throughout the process and make sure you understand what is happening in your case and what you can expect next.
Prosecutors must prove every element of a crime to obtain a conviction. When you hire us, we immediately begin an independent investigation of your case. We hunt for evidence that could weaken or contradict the prosecutor’s version of events, putting you in the strongest position to achieve the most favorable outcome possible given the circumstances.
