Work With Truly Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys

Being charged with a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, can negatively affect every aspect of your life. Being convicted of criminal charges is even worse. A criminal record can stand between you and your chosen career, the ability to find housing and distract from your life goals. A criminal charge or conviction may also have immigration consequences, financial consequences, affect your marriage, or interfere with your ability to parent and support your children. Dealing with the consequences of a criminal charge may seem like an uphill climb, but our criminal law attorneys may be able to help you move forward with a not-guilty verdict, a plea deal for minimized penalties, or in some cases, we can even help you get your criminal record expunged (erased).

Learn how you might be able to avoid the worst-case scenario and let us help you mount a strong defense when you are charged with a crime in East Tennessee. Turn to our dedicated defense lawyers and our experienced support staff. With nearly 100 years of history helping our neighbors in Washington County and surrounding areas, Herndon, Coleman, Brading, & McKee, LLP is there for you if you are charged with a crime, no matter how minor or how serious the charges are.

We Know How To Fight Criminal Charges

If you have been charged with a crime, let us help you strategize a defense that is in your best interest. Don’t wait to hire a lawyer. Call us today if you are charged with any of the following so we can help you right away:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI, also called DWI or OWI)
  • Drug possession, distribution or manufacture
  • Shoplifting, fraud, robbery or any kind of theft
  • A violent crime, such as assault, sexual assault
  • Kidnapping or arson
  • Manslaughter in connection with a fatal car accident when you were at the wheel
  • Internet-based crimes such as soliciting a minor or identification theft (ID theft)
  • Driving without a license/on a suspended license
  • Assault of any kind, including domestic assault
  • Violent crimes

As with most legal matters, getting in touch with an attorney promptly is key to creating the best possible defense. A lawyer can help you understand when, if, and how you should speak to the prosecutor and any investigators. A lawyer will go with you to any interviews and help protect your rights. A good criminal defense lawyer can make sure only the right kind of evidence, if any, is used in your case, and that the prosecutors follow the law. Often, the right lawyer can negotiate a more favorable outcome for your case than you might get if you went to trial. For example, you may be able to improve the outcome of your drug crime case by entering into drug dependency treatment before you go before a prosecutor or judge. Contact us today to find out if we can help you fight your criminal charges.
