Tennessee Assault Defense
If you are facing any type of assault charge, it is important to have an attorney who will explore all the options and fight aggressively for you. I am Rhonda R. Crabtree, Attorney at Law. At my Middle Tennessee law firm, I defend people against charges of assault and related crimes. I am dedicated to seeking the most favorable outcome possible for my clients.
An attorney since 2002, I also have a background in the mental health field. This adds to my ability to defend my clients effectively and aggressively. When I meet with clients facing any type of violent crime charge, including assault, I listen carefully to their side of the story.
My experience tells me that it can be difficult for people to talk about things they have done, especially things that do not reflect well on them. Consequently, I make sure that clients know that my job is to defend them, not judge them.
Fighting for Clients Charged With Assault
As your attorney, I will assert and protect your rights during the legal process. This means that I examine the record to see whether any evidence or witness testimony presented against you was legally obtained or if the police violated your Fourth Amendment rights. If I discover that your rights were violated, I challenge the prosecution's case and seek reduced charges, reduced penalties or a dismissal of the charges.
Defending Against All Assault Charges
I will defend you against assault charges such as:
- Simple assault
- Domestic assault/domestic violence
- Aggravated assault
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault/battery
- Vehicular assault
- Reckless endangerment
If you are convicted of felony assault, the penalties range from less than a year of jail time and a fine to many years in prison and a significant fine (for aggravated sexual assault). Even if you are convicted of a misdemeanor, there are still significant consequences, including a criminal record that will follow you for many years. That is why you need a lawyer who will advocate for you and seek the most favorable outcome possible.
