At Michael & Associates, we don’t just believe in fighting hard. We fight smart — leveraging legal experience, deep knowledge of Brentwood courts, and our commitment to protecting your future.
Some firms take on as many clients as possible and push quick plea deals to keep cases moving. That’s not how we operate. We limit the number of cases we accept to ensure each client gets the time and attention they deserve. Our number one goal for every client is a dismissal.
Types of Cases We Handle
Brentwood crime data shows that thousands of crimes occur in the area each year. If you’re facing charges, you’re not alone. But you’re innocent unless proven guilty, and now is the time to fight back. You need to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible after an arrest.
DUI Defense
A DUI conviction in Tennessee can result in jail time, driver’s license suspension, costly fines, and a permanent criminal record. Our DUI scientists know how to challenge blood and breathalyzer tests, and our team includes lawyers with law enforcement experience, helping leverage procedural mistakes to fight for a dismissal or reduced charges.
Assault and Domestic Violence
From bar fights to family disagreements, assault charges carry serious legal and personal consequences. We defend clients against misdemeanor and felony assault allegations, including cases involving domestic partners and family members.
Shoplifting and Theft
Even minor theft convictions can damage your record and reputation. We defend against charges ranging from shoplifting to grand theft, aiming to protect your freedom and keep your record clean.
Drug Possession and Marijuana Crimes
Tennessee takes a strict approach to drug offenses. We represent clients accused of possessing controlled substances, including marijuana, and fight to reduce penalties or secure alternative sentencing options.
Weapons Charges
From unlawful possession to carrying a firearm while committing another crime, weapons charges carry severe potential prison terms. We work to challenge the evidence and preserve your constitutional rights.
Protective Orders
A protective order can affect your ability to see your children, return to your home, or possess firearms. We aggressively challenge unfounded orders to protect your rights.
Expungement
Past arrests or convictions can follow you for years, limiting employment and housing opportunities. Our Brentwood expungement lawyers help eligible clients clear their records so they can start fresh with a clean slate.
