Charges We Aggressively Defend in Wilson County & Middle TN
From criminal prosecutions to civil disputes, we bring the same trial-tested intensity to every matter we take on across Wilson County and Middle Tennessee.
DUI & Vehicular Crimes
Implied consent, breathalyzer calibration challenges, first-time & repeat felony DUI defense.
In Tennessee, a DUI conviction carries mandatory jail time, license revocation, and ignition interlock requirements. We challenge blood draws, field sobriety procedures, and illegal traffic stops.
Drug Offenses & Trafficking
Possession, distribution, federal conspiracy, and illegal search & seizure suppression.
From simple possession to federal interstate conspiracy charges, we dismantle unconstitutional vehicle searches and challenge drug dog alerts in state and federal court.
Violent Crimes & Self-Defense
Aggravated assault, domestic allegations, weapons violations, and Tennessee self-defense law.
Tennessee's Stand Your Ground statutes require immediate, aggressive preservation of surveillance video, witness statements, and 911 dispatch audio.
Probation Violations & Bond
Emergency bond reduction hearings, probation revocations, and alternative sentencing relief.
If you have a hold or capias warrant in Wilson County or neighboring jurisdictions, fast intervention can prevent prolonged detention.
