Tennessee Criminal Law
An experienced attorney fighting for your rights.
If you have been charged with a crime in Tennessee, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. For 30 years, I have been defending the rights of my clients across the state. I have built a reputation on getting results, and I am intimately familiar with the many facets of the Tennessee criminal justice system. I have the knowledge and skill to make sure you understand your legal options and to guide you through the legal process.
I have represented clients in state and federal courts on charges ranging from minor offenses to serious felonies, including:
- Assault and battery
- DWI / DUI / OWI
- Possession of drugs and drug trafficking
- Theft and larceny
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Arson
- Rape
- Homicide — murder/manslaughter, including death penalty defense
- Domestic violence
- White-collar crime
- Appeals to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals and the Tennessee Supreme Court
- and more
When you have charges on your record that you want eliminated, I can help you determine if those charges can be sealed or expunged, or represent you in appellate court.
