Frequently asked questions on criminal defense in Cheatham County

Why should I have a criminal defense lawyer?

Anyone facing criminal charges needs to speak to a criminal defense attorney – better yet, a legal warrior because those charges create a serious threat. Criminal charges can impact your freedom and future. You need someone who won’t back down, even in the face of aggressive prosecutors and law enforcement. Here’s how having a lawyer helps:

  • Safeguard your rights: When you are facing the criminal justice system, the opposition can be ruthless. Sadly, those looking to convict you might violate your constitutional rights. When this happens, we fight back to protect your rights and to exclude evidence that was acquired through these improper means.
  • Negotiating for favorable outcomes: Sometimes, negotiating with prosecutors is your best option for reducing or dismissing charges. However, we're ready to battle if your case goes to trial. Our strategy will be to take the approach that offers the most benefits to you.
  • Building a defense: The best strategy for your defense will depend on your situation. We take the time to listen and gather evidence so that we can find the best way to fight back.
  • Explaining your legal options: You should be actively involved in your defense. We offer explanations about the legal process, likely outcomes, and advice about what we believe is your wisest path forward so that you know how to help yourself.

What can you do if you’re arrested or being investigated?

Don’t speak: Remember to stay silent when around the police. It’s your right not to speak, and you should exercise that right. Keep your mouth shut until your lawyer is there to guide you.

Request an attorney: Clearly state, “I want a lawyer.” The law requires that the police must stop questioning you when you make that request. Be firm – don’t waver with something like, “I think I might need a lawyer.”
