Chattanooga Violent Crime Lawyers
Defending Against Allegations of Murder, Rape & Other Serious Crimes
If you are facing violent crime charges, you already know the stakes are high. Because of their destructive nature against human life and property, these types of crimes are generally charged as felonies. Felony crimes carry years, decades, or even life sentences in prison, along with substantial fines.
When all is said and done, you will also have a permanent conviction on your record, limiting your employment, housing, and other opportunities for the remainder of your life. In the face of these penalties, you need experienced and tenacious legal representation from our Chattanooga violent crime lawyer —you need Speek, Webb, Turn & Newkirk PLLC.

What should you do if there’s a warrant against you?
If you could be a suspect in a theft, murder, rape case or other crime, there may be an outstanding warrant against you. In Hamilton County, you can search the sheriff’s office for open warrants.
Once you’ve confirmed that there IS a warrant in your name, be proactive. Read the warrant information carefully to understand when and why a judge issued the warrant. Also look to see what kind of charges, misdemeanor or felony, you could be facing.
Next, contact a criminal defense attorney. An experienced attorney will walk you through your options and smooth the process for you. For example, the lawyer may be able to arrange for you to turn yourself in or appear in court for an arraignment, without you having to go to jail.
If you are arrested before hiring an attorney, stay calm, and remember you always have the right to remain silent. Ask to speak to a lawyer before you answer any questions.
Your criminal defense attorney will explain your rights and guide you through every step of the process.
