VIOLENT CRIMES

Here in Middle Tennessee, convictions for violent crimes can result in long sentences, and courts only grant probation in rare cases. With your freedom and your future at stake, you should be seeking the tools you need to mount an aggressive defense. Law enforcement officials are required to protect your rights, but that does not mean they will not use tactics to get you to waive those rights without you even realizing it. It is up to you to protect your rights and interests even if you believe you have nothing to hide.

​

Police may attempt to get you to consent to a search of your home, vehicle, or any other place where the law provides you an expectation of privacy. If they ask for your consent, politely refuse until they receive a valid search warrant and consult with an attorney before they return. Moreover, you do not have to talk to the police about the allegations against you. You have the right to talk to an attorney before answering any questions.

​

Discussion during your consultation will center on the facts involved with your specific case and the potential penalties associated with your case. Atlas Law Firm will conduct a thorough investigation to identify holes in the case and to search for violations of your rights. Once the investigation is completed, a frank and honest assessment of your case will be done.

Our goal is to limit the penalties you may face.
