In Defense Of Your Freedom And Your Future
If you have been arrested and seek a strong defense lawyer, John M. Miles can help you pursue the best available outcome. I will always stand up for your Constitutional rights and strive to protect you from harmful consequences. I’ve practiced both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney, so I understand how the state will build its case against you and the best options for responding to them.
Many people, when arrested for a crime in Tennessee, worry primarily about two things: the immediate outcome and what a conviction would do to their lives in the long run. In fact, a conviction for a violation of state or federal law, whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony, can have a lasting negative impact on your life, including:
- Your ability to seek and retain employment
- Your access to credit
- Your cost of living – for example, the rates you are charged for insurance
- Your ability to conduct financial transactions, even to open a bank account
‘Can You Help Me Fight My Charge?’
I have been practicing law since 1988 and have represented defendants charged with many types of criminal charges, including:
- DUI
- Murder
- Domestic assault and other domestic violence charges such as violation of an order of protection
- Drug crimes, including possession and trafficking
I am available to prepare each case carefully and listen to your side of the story fully. I will explore any realistic alternatives to a guilty verdict. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for a diversion program or other alternatives that would prevent a conviction from showing up on criminal background checks.
