Criminal Defense Overview

Experienced Nashville Criminal Law Attorney

Most people charged with a DUI, misdemeanor or felony crime have never been through the criminal justice system before. The confusion and worry about what will happen next can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, neither the police nor the prosecution will help you understand the process. Their main goal is to find someone guilty and make sure that punishment is doled out for the crime.

Free Consultation ▪ Nearly 15 Years as a Former Prosecutor

As a former assistant district attorney, I have a special appreciation for the concerns of my clients. Even if you do know some of your rights, you are probably not fully aware of the consequences that your decisions will have on your career, your family and your reputation. I will take the time to discuss these issues with you, so you can make informed decisions about your future. Learn more at my criminal defense practice center.

The Right Lawyer Can Make All the Difference

The defense lawyer you hire is probably the most important decision you will make throughout the process. I handle all felony and misdemeanor criminal cases in state and federal courts in Nashville and throughout western Tennessee.

Contact me for a free consultation as soon as possible. The sooner I get involved in your case, the better defense I can provide.

I have extensive experience handling a variety of criminal charges including:

Ready to Fight to Protect Your Rights

Since beginning the practice of law after graduating from Vanderbilt University in 1990, I have always focused exclusively on criminal law. My experience includes over 14 years as a successful prosecutor in the Davidson County District Attorney's office, where I specialized in prosecuting DUI, vehicular homicide and sex crimes. During those years, I tried more than 100 cases before juries.

There's more at stake than you know. Get experienced legal defense.

My experience preparing every case for trial is what separates me from many criminal defense attorneys. Even as I negotiate the best possible outcome for your charges, I prepare each case as if a full trial will be necessary. In doing so, I am ready for anything the prosecution can throw at me. Also, my reputation as a former prosecutor precedes me: local law enforcement and district attorneys know that I used to be on their side. They are well-aware that I know their strategies and tactics and that I will share this information with my clients.
