Question 1

What should I do if I'm arrested?

Remain calm and exercise your constitutional rights. Do not resist arrest or argue with officers. Clearly state that you wish to remain silent and that you want an attorney. Do not consent to any searches. Call The Case Firm immediately at (901) 668-6206 for 24/7 assistance.

Question 2

How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?

Accepted Answer

Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of your case, the charges you face, and whether your case goes to trial. We offer free initial consultations and work with clients to create manageable payment plans. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Question 3

Can charges be dropped before trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, charges can be dropped or reduced before trial through various means including: insufficient evidence, successful motion to suppress, plea negotiations, or diversion programs. An experienced defense attorney can identify the best strategy for your case.

Question 4

Will I lose my license after a DUI?

Accepted Answer

A DUI arrest typically triggers automatic license suspension through the implied consent law. However, you have the right to request a hearing to challenge this suspension. Acting quickly is critical—you usually have only a short window to request this hearing.

Question 5

Can I refuse a breathalyzer test?

Accepted Answer

While you can refuse, Tennessee's implied consent law means refusal results in automatic license suspension. However, refusing may also mean less evidence against you. Each situation is different—call us immediately after any DUI stop.

Question 6

What happens at an arraignment?

Accepted Answer

An arraignment is your first court appearance where you'll hear the formal charges against you and enter a plea. It's critical to have an attorney present. We'll advise you on whether to plead not guilty, guilty, or no contest based on your specific circumstances.

Question 7

How long will my case take?

Accepted Answer

Case timelines vary significantly. Misdemeanors may resolve in weeks to months, while felonies can take a year or more. Factors include case complexity, court schedules, and whether we go to trial. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
