How a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help in Your Situation
Facing criminal charges, no matter what they are for, is an overwhelming situation. If this is not the first time you have been charged with a crime, you already know how beneficial it is to work with a criminal defense attorney in Clarksville, Tennessee. If you are facing a criminal charge for the first time in your life, you need to learn how this type of attorney can help your case.
We can provide:
- Honest assessment – This is one of the most important ways a defense attorney can help your case. Instead of telling you what you want to hear, the attorney will review the charges and the evidence presented and then lay it all out on the line for you. This will help you come to decisions regarding how you will fight the charges.
- Experience & knowledge – A defense attorney has experience practicing the law in your jurisdiction, which means he or she will know the local judges and prosecutors. This could work in your favor. The attorney knows what it takes to get a sentence reduced or to even get the charges dropped.
- Logistics – When you work with a defense attorney, you will never have to worry about the various deadlines of your case. The attorney will handle the filing of all paperwork, depositions, collection of evidence and more. He or she will also make sure you appeal any court decisions you do not agree with by the required deadline.
- Expert witnesses – A defense attorney will also be able to bring in expert witnesses to testify on your behalf. They will likely have worked with these people in the past, which makes it easier to communicate with them.
Now that you know how important it is to work with a criminal defense attorney when faced with criminal charges in Tennessee, you need to protect your rights immediately. Contact a defense attorney at our firm today!

What is Considered a Felony in Tennessee?
A crime is considered a felony in Tennessee when it is punishable with a year or more in prison. There are various felony classes ranging in severity of punishments. They are categorized as class A, B, C, D, and E. Class A felonies are the most serious of the group, while class E felonies will impose the lowest felony punishment.
Additionally, the statute of limitations will vary depending on the class of felony. The more serious the crime, the longer the statue of limitations will be.
A misdemeanor on the other hand is punishable up to 11 months and 29 days.
How Long Does a Felony Stay on Your Record in Tennessee?
Barring any exceptions, a felony will stay on your record in Tennessee forever. In some cases, the process of expungement can remove a criminal conviction from the record. However, not all crimes are eligible, and this is not an automatic process. If you have any further questions about this, do not hesitate to contact our firm.
