Protecting Your Future After You are Accused of a Crime

For individuals with no prior record, a criminal accusation can be devastating at many levels. Even if the accusation is false and all criminal charges are dropped, the arrest itself can lead to indirect consequences for the individual's education and career opportunities. Nashville criminal defense attorney, Andrew C. Beasley, has devoted his career to representing individuals charged with criminal offenses, including marijuana crimes. 

 

Throughout nearly three years of criminal defense practice, Mr. Beasley has represented members of the military, educators, school teachers and health care professionals. And as a former prosecutor, Andrew Beasley understands how to attack the prosecutor's case piece by piece.

 

College and graduate students at Nashville's area colleges, including Vanderbilt, Tennessee State, Bellmont, Lipscomb, and MTSU can face severe consequences to their education during disciplinary hearings even if the criminal charges are dismissed. Even individuals who carry a firearm for their employment or have a concealed weapons permit may find the indirect consequences of a false accusation last a lifetime. For all of these reasons, Andrew Beasley strives to protect his clients against false accusations at every stage of the case.

 

An Aggressive Approach Based on Thorough Preparation

Andrew C. Beasley believes that the best way to fight criminal charges often begins with litigating pre-file motions including:

 

1. Motions to exclude physical evidence or statements

2. Motions to suppress evidence gained during an illegal stop or arrest; and

3. Motions to dismiss the criminal charges for insufficient evidence

 

As a dedicated Tennessee criminal lawyer, he continues to stay current on the most recent changes in Tennessee's criminal laws and innovate strategies that can most effectively win criminal cases.

 

Never Talk to Law Enforcement

Once you believe you are suspected of committing a crime, do not speak to any local or federal law enforcement officer until AFTER you obtain an experienced criminal defense attorney. You can invoke your right to remain silent by saying, "I will not make a statement until AFTER I have spoken to an attorney." Then remain silent. Even if you are innocent of any criminal wrongdoing, your attorney is often in the best position to talk to the law enforcement officer about what occurred.

 

Many people make the mistake of trying to protest their innocence and explain the situation. While well intentioned, in the heat of the moment people can make mistakes and give conflicting details, which can be used against them in court. Even more problematic, the officer can intentionally in inadvertantly miscontrue the statements. Hiring an attorney before you make any statement can help ensure that your constitutional rights are protected during questioning and minimize the opportunity for self-incrimination. You should take full advantage of your right to remain silent.

 

When we represent a client at the beginning of a criminal investigation, we work hard to convince the officer not to make an arrest. Even if the law enforcement officer ultimately decides to make the arrest, your attorney can often negotiate the terms of your surrender and handle other details that will minimize the embarrassment, expense and inconvenience of an arrest. By discussing the bond conditions up front, your attorney can often save you money that might otherwise be required for an excessive bond and speed up your release.

 

Effective Pre-File Negotiations in Nashville and Davidson County

After a felony arrest, the prosecutor with the District Attorney General's Office often takes several days to decide whether to file any formal charges. Your Nashville criminal defense attorney can often present certain favorable evidence or show that the accusation is false or exaggerated. In many cases, the prosecutor may decide not to file any formal charges or notably reduce the charges filed.

 

By obtaining legal counsel as early in the case as possible, your criminal defense lawyer can begin gathering favorable evidence that might be lost with the passage of time. Preserving evidence before it is lost and memories begin to fade often leads to better results.
