Criminal Law & Personal Injury Practice Areas
The Law Office of Stephen R. Leffler, PC has successfully defended clients from Memphis, Shelby County and Western Tennessee in state and federal criminal felony and misdemeanor cases for personal injury, DUI, automobile and train accidents, and wrongful death.
Our criminal law firm’s areas of practice include:
-
Criminal Defense
If you have been accused of a serious crime, you need assistance from a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. We are familiar with criminal laws governing Memphis and the state of Tennessee and will work to ensure justice and due process for anyone accused of a crime or misconduct. -
Felonies and Misdemeanors
At some point in your life, you or a family member may be accused of a misdemeanor (a moderately serious offense usually punishable by a fine) or a felony (a serious offense that can lead to imprisonment). When facing an accusation of either type of crime, you need a qualified criminal defense attorney at your side to study the evidence and evaluate all of your options. -
Federal Crimes
In the United States, a federal crime is defined as one that is either made illegal by U.S. federal legislation or a crime that occurs on U.S. federal property. The penalties for federal offenses are serious. Our criminal law attorneys have tried numerous federal jury cases which enables us to help you understand what the government must prove to convict you and prepare for how the complex federal sentencing guidelines may affect you. -
State Crimes
We defend all types of Tennessee state criminal charges, including prostitution, murder, theft and drug possession. Our criminal defense lawyers are well-versed in Tennessee criminal law and will draw from their extensive legal defense background to protect your rights and freedom in the event that you are accused of a state crime. -
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 will seek to close matters in the quickest, most economical way possible. Our criminal law attorneys understand the intricacies of automobile insurance coverage and work closely with our clients to advise them regarding how to respond to insurance company communications, deadlines and settlement offers. Our Memphis criminal law firm team works with your insurance company on your behalf to reach a fair, good faith settlement. -
DWI/DUI Cases
Tennessee’s strict DWI (Driving while Impaired)/DUI (Driving under the Influence) or “drunk driving” statute makes it difficult for accused drivers to receive much leniency. At our criminal law firm, we have identified portions of the statute that can work to an accused client’s advantage. -
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 use of an unsafe product, our criminal lawyers can help you determine how to proceed in working with negligent parties and their insurance companies. Our criminal law firm will 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 criminal defense lawyers work 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.
