We are Tennessee criminal defense lawyers that defend criminal cases and people arrested for and accused of any criminal offense in Tennessee.

The job of a defense attorney is to only be concerned with the best interests of the client. The prosecution is only interested in getting a conviction, so it is only fair that you have someone on your site in this adversarial system.
We are prepared to defend our clients all the way to a trial whenever necessary. Preparing for a trial is also often the best way to ultimately end up with a fair plea negotiation.
Please contact us for a case evaluation on any criminal charge in Tennessee. You will find out exactly what we can do to help.
