Anyone charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty.  Whether the case falls under federal, state, or military jurisdiction, the Tennessee criminal defense lawyers at The Kennedy Law Firm, PLLC fight for people charged with crimes in Tennessee or Kentucky.

We treat all our clients with respect and have compassion for their circumstances. With more than 75 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys handle civil and criminal cases before state and federal courts encompassing a wide range of practice areas, including the following:

  • DUI/DWI
  • Traffic violations

  • Violent crimes

We understand federal, military, and Tennessee criminal laws

Regardless of whether the crime is an alleged violation of federal, military, or Tennessee criminal law, our lawyers completely review all aspects of the case, including:

  • The circumstances and legality of the arrest
  • The state's evidence
  • Warrants, charging documents, and other official documents,
  • Written or record confessions
  • All other evidence

The Kennedy Law Firm, PLLC is unique because our criminal defense service extends to military law.  Because of our proximity to the U.S. Army's Fort Campbell military base, our attorneys represent clients in court-martial hearings in the Magistrate Court division of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.

We are prepared to represent your best interest

At the Kennedy Law Firm, PLLC, our attorneys thoroughly analyze all aspects of your case and prepare the strongest possible defense.  In some cases we recommend going to trial, while in other cases, it may be beneficial to negotiate a plea agreement.  To determine the best legal options, our Tennessee criminal defense lawyers use the following:

  • An in-depth review of the case
  • Extensive resources to collect and analyze evidence
  • Applicable criminal laws and essential elements required to prove each alleged crime
  • Evidence the prosecution intends to use to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt
  • Evidence to refute the prosecution case and sustain a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of our client

You do not have to speak to the police without a warrant or legal counsel. We urge you to contact us first so we can protect your rights and help you fight the charges.
