Nashville crime data shows that over 39,000 crimes occur per year in the Nashville area. If you're facing charges, you're not alone. But you're innocent unless proven guilty, and now is the time to fight back. You need to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible after an arrest.
Michael & Associates defends a wide range of these charges across Davidson County and Middle Tennessee, including:
DUI Defense
A DUI conviction in Tennessee can mean jail time, driver's license suspension, costly fines, and a lifelong criminal record. Our DUI scientists know how to challenge the results of blood and breathalyzer tests, and our team includes lawyers with experience as law enforcement officers, helping us leverage incorrect police procedures to fight for a dismissal or reduction of charges.
Assault & Domestic Violence
From bar fights to family disagreements, assault charges carry serious legal and personal consequences. We defend clients against misdemeanor and felony assault allegations, including cases involving domestic partners and family members.
Shoplifting & Theft
Even a minor theft conviction will damage your record and reputation. We defend against charges ranging from shoplifting to grand theft, aiming to protect your freedom and keep your record clean.
Drug Possession & Marijuana Crimes
Tennessee takes a tough stance on drug offenses. We represent clients accused of possessing controlled substances, including marijuana, and fight to reduce penalties or secure alternative sentencing options.
Weapons Charges
From unlawful possession to carrying a firearm while committing another crime, weapons charges can have severe prison terms. We work to challenge the evidence and preserve your constitutional rights.
Orders of Protection
A protective order can affect your ability to see your children, return to your own home, or possess firearms. We aggressively challenge unfounded orders to protect your rights.
Expungement
A past arrest or conviction can follow you for years, limiting job and housing opportunities. Our Nashville expungement lawyers help clear eligible records so you can get your life back on track -- with a clean slate.
