Middle Tennessee Criminal Defense Attorneys

Being charged with a crime can turn your life upside down in an instant. One moment you’re going about your day, and the next, you’re facing questions about your freedom, your reputation, and what comes next. If you’re reading this, you’re probably scared, confused, and wondering what to do.

We get it. At Kane & Crowell PLLC, we’ve walked alongside hundreds of people who’ve found themselves in your shoes looking for a criminal defense attorney in Lebanon, Mt Juliet or Nashville area. We know how overwhelming this feels, and we’re here to help you navigate through it.

We Know This Area—And We Know How to Help

Here’s the thing about criminal defense: it’s not just about knowing the law (though that’s obviously important). It’s about understanding the people you’re dealing with—the court system, the prosecutors, the court staff. We’ve been practicing in Lebanon and throughout Middle Tennessee for decades. We have had hundreds of criminal trials, including jury trials, in Middle Tennessee and know what cases need to be tried and which can be negotiated to a successful outcome. 

We’ve helped families in all counties that border Wilson County and some farther than that for decades. We have helped people with money and those with less. Every person is unique and every case is different, but our commitment stays the same: we listen to your story, we explain what you’re facing in plain English, and we fight for the best possible outcome for every client we have.

Here’s What We Handle

We’ve seen it all, and we don’t judge. Our job is to defend you, period.

If You’ve Been Arrested—Do This Right Now

First, take a deep breath. Here’s what you need to do:

Stay calm. We know that’s easier said than done, but fighting with the police will only make things worse for you.

Don’t talk to anyone about your case except your lawyer. Not your spouse, not your best friend, not the nice detective who says they just want to “clear things up.” They’re not trying to help you—they’re trying to build a case against you.

Call us immediately. The sooner we get involved, the better we can protect you. Evidence needs to be preserved, witnesses forget things, and opportunities to help you slip away every day you wait.

Why People Choose Us

Look, we could tell you we’re the best lawyers in Tennessee, but that’s not really helpful. Here’s what actually matters:

We know the local courts inside and out. We’ve been practicing here for decades. We know which arguments are the most effective and we know how to get things done.

You’ll actually talk to a lawyer, not a paralegal. When you call, you get one of us. When you have questions, you get real answers from someone who knows your case.

We fight hard. We’re not here to just take your money and plead you out. We investigate, we challenge bad evidence, and we negotiate aggressively. Sometimes that means taking a case to trial when the prosecutor won’t be reasonable.

We keep you in the loop. You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your case. We explain things in regular English, not legal jargon.

We’re here when you need us. Legal trouble doesn’t happen from 9 to 5. When you’re in crisis, we’re available.

Your Questions, Answered

Where do you practice? Throughout Middle Tennessee—, Wilson County, Sumner County, Trousdale County, Smith County, Macon County,and Jackson County. If you’re charged somewhere in this area, we can help.

What if I can’t afford a lawyer? Let’s talk about it. We offer free consultations, and we work with people on payment plans. Your financial situation shouldn’t determine the quality of your defense.

Should I just plead guilty and get it over with? Please don’t make that decision without talking to us first. What looks like a “simple” case often isn’t, and pleading guilty has consequences you might not have considered.

How quickly should I call? Today. Right now, if possible. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to help you.

Let’s Talk

If you’re facing criminal charges, you don’t have to face them alone. Call Kane & Crowell PLLC today for a free, confidential consultation. We’ll listen to your story, explain your options, and help you figure out the best path forward.

You made it this far, which means you’re taking this seriously. That’s good. Now let us help you protect your future.
