How To Fight Criminal Charges In Knoxville
Over the years, Julie has worked on nearly every type of criminal case there is, and now she primarily focuses on DUI, drug charges and domestic situations.
Drunk driving – DUI penalties can be tough. People charged with this offense can lose their license, go to jail, pay costly fees and fines, be required to have an ignition interlock device installed and submit to substance abuse evaluation and classes. They may also have to purchase more expensive auto insurance. A repeat offense will greatly enhance the penalties and other consequences they face.
Drug offenses – Drug crimes are prosecuted aggressively and can come with harsh prison sentences, depending on the offense. In addition to drugs such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, Julie can help clients fight marijuana and prescription drug charges. Prosecutors often overcharge people with higher-level drug crimes, and she will ensure her clients are not charged with a crime they did not commit. As a drug charges lawyer, she will also examine the case for any search and seizure violations.
Domestic violence and felony domestic assault – Domestic violence cases are taken seriously by law enforcement. If someone calls the police, there will likely be an arrest made, even if the other person does not want to press charges. People facing charges may also have a protective order taken out against them, which prohibits them from contact with the other person. This often means people have to leave the home and pay child and/or spousal support. A felony conviction may send people to prison for up to 15 years. It is important to have a domestic assault attorney’s counsel immediately.
