Defending clients charged with:

Felonies
Felonies are broadly defined as all violations that must be punished by one year or more of confinement or by the infliction of the death penalty. Felonies in Tennessee are divided into five categories for purposes of sentencing: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E. More . . .

Misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are violations of Tennessee law that may be punished by fine or confinement of less than one year, or a combination of both. Though these violations and their punishments are less serious than felonies, misdemeanors still have serious consequences, including jail time and fines, potential difficulties when applying for jobs, and effects on your criminal records.

Probation Violations
Probation is an alternative form of sentencing that allows an individual to serve time while living in their Tennessee community, rather than in prison, under the supervision of probation officer. The purpose of probation is to maintain control over the individual during the probationary period and ensure that they do not commit any other crimes. More . . .

Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is divided into misdemeanor and felony offenses. The sentencing in domestic violence cases most often depends on the severity of the injuries. The most likely punishments for domestic violence charges include fines, mandatory attendance of a treatment program, such as anger management, probation or, if this is not a first-time offense, jail time, and loss of any and all firearms in your possession.
