Legal Champions Protecting Clients from Serious Criminal Penalties
Being convicted of a crime will create negative repercussions in all or most areas of your life, including your personal relationships, your career, and your reputation. Employers, lenders, landlords, and business professionals will tend to steer away from any interaction with someone who has been convicted of a crime, serious or otherwise.
The steep fines used in sentencing could drain your finances beyond repair. Being placed behind bars for months or years can disconnect you from others in your life, unraveling important relationships you have built. You have to take legal action to stop it.
Criminal penalties for crimes in Tennessee may include:
- Jail or prison time
- Probation
- Excessive fines
- Mark on your criminal record
- Loss of employment opportunities
- Negative immigration consequences
- Paying restitution to accusers
- Removal of licenses

Collecting & Using Evidence to Your Advantage
Our Clarksville criminal defense attorneys know that a reliable criminal defense case starts the moment you are placed under investigation or arrest. Police officers and law enforcement agents will be busy collecting evidence to use against you by handing it over to the prosecution. It is crucial to take the same initiative for your defense.
Potential defenses for a criminal defense case include:
- Mistaken identity: A classic yet effective defense to criminal accusations is mistaken identity. Many crimes are described by apparent witnesses as unfolding in the dark and by a complete stranger. This situation creates a cloud of uncertainty in identity the prosecution has the duty to clear.
- No criminal intent: Many criminal statutes describe a crime using language that implies or relies on the offender having the intent to commit it. That is to say, if you never intended to break the law, it might be possible to have charges dismissed or greatly reduced. For example, murder can be lessened to involuntary manslaughter, which carries lessened penalties upon conviction.
- No harm: Some crimes depend on actual harm or wrongdoing occurring to the accusing victim in order for the action or situation to actually fit the criminal definition. When someone is prosecuted for an act that does not meet the letter of the law, it may be possible to convince a judge to dismiss the charges due to inaccuracy or prosecutorial errors.
Keep in mind that the aforementioned criminal defense strategies are only generalized. Your own case is unique and needs a unique approach to succeed. Hibbeler & Associates always moves forward with criminal defense cases by getting to know our clients and the finest details of their situation. No one is given cookie-cutter defense strategies.
