Dennis, an attorney with years of experience helping citizens of Sparta, Crossville and Cookeville with their legal needs regarding cases of criminal law, civil litigation and personal injury.
Criminal defense law firm
My firm is known in Middle Tennessee for defending clients against such crimes as:
- Disorderly conduct
- Drug offenses
- Theft crimes
- DUI arrests
- Violent acts
- Sex crimes
Each criminal charge is covered by different statutes, either at the local, state or federal level. If you face the scary and confusing situation of being charged with one or several of these crimes you need an experienced criminal attorney who understands criminal law and has successfully defended clients in Cookeville, Sparta and Crossville. My criminal law firm should be able to aggressively defend you against any criminal charge and work with prosecutors at different levels of government.
While other criminal law firms in Cookeville, Sparta and Crossville can provide you adequate representation, they may not have the necessary experience or understanding of how prosecutors work to pursue a case. Having spent valuable time at the District Attorney General's Office in Knox County, I know the strategies that a prosecutor is likely to employ for various charges and can mount effective defenses against them.
Benefits of an experienced criminal defense law firm
Tennessee law does not require that you hire an attorney to defend you, but it is highly recommended that you consult with criminal defense law firms that are experienced in handling your type of case.
With a knowledgeable attorney you get:
- Years of experience in defending cases similar to yours
- Local knowledge of who is prosecuting or presiding over your case
- The ability to defend you at the local, state and federal level or possibly in multiple venues
When crimes like a first offense DUI carry such penalties as revocation of your driver's license for one year and up to 29 days in jail, you owe it yourself to explore all of the options available to you.
Civil litigation and personal injury
At my law firm, we also handle cases regarding lawsuits for civil matters such as real estate disputes, debt recovery, and commercial fraud as well as personal injuries cases resulting from car accidents and slips and falls. If you are in need of an attorney with civil litigation experience and looking for the best settlement possible, let my office help you today.
