Felonies and misdemeanors

Car accidents
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. After an automobile accident, insurance companies usually seek to close matters in the quickest, most economical way possible. Our Memphis law office understands the intricacies of automobile insurance coverage and works closely with our clients to advise them regarding how to respond to insurance company communications, deadlines and settlement offers. The team at our Memphis law firm works with your insurance company on your behalf to reach a fair, good faith settlement.
DWI/DUI cases
Tennessee has a strict DWI (Driving while Impaired)/DUI (Driving under the Influence) statute that makes it difficult for accused drivers to receive much leniency. At our criminal law firm in Memphis, we have identified portions of the statute that can work to the advantage of a client.
Personal injury
If you have sustained a physical or psychological injury as the result of an auto, train or airline accident, a workplace accident, or the use of an unsafe product, our lawyers can help you determine how to proceed in working with negligent parties and their insurance companies. Our Memphis attorneys can negotiate on your behalf to gain relief from the damages incurred, depending on your specific circumstances and injuries.
Wrongful death
When a death occurs as the result of an accident, an occupational hazard, criminal behavior or during a supervised activity, those accused may be charged in both civil and criminal cases. Our law firm works with clients to navigate the details of wrongful death statutes, cut through insurance company roadblocks and maximize settlements following the loss of your loved ones.
