Offering High-Quality Criminal Defense And Other Legal Services To Nashville And Middle Tennessee
Premium Legal Service With A Competitive Approach
To be successful, a trial lawyer must not only be able to “quarterback” the client through the minefield of a criminal trial but also be able to design the “game plan” that will enable the jury to connect with the accused. The lawyer must also recognize that there are two sides to every story, not just the one proposed by the zealous prosecutor blinded by ambition.
My approach in the defense of such a case is to thoroughly explore and evaluate all aspects of the situation that led to the accusations. This will inevitably lead to the theory I will use in defending those accusations since that is where the truth will be. Unlike law enforcement agencies, my firm will look at all possibilities to explain why someone is fabricating claims that will put an innocent person in prison for the rest of their life.
