Nashville Federal and Misdemeanor Defense LawyerWhether your case is heading to federal court or state court, you need a criminal defense attorney who will give your case the serious and strategic defense you deserve. Prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney in 1988, I, firm founder Thomas Jefferson Drake, worked my way through law school as an on-air radio personality who covered the courts. My communications degree and professional background is an added asset to clients who seek a criminal defense attorney who can articulate their case effectively in court and offer sound legal advice in clear English. Federal Crimes
Throughout my entire legal career, I have fought serious felony charges in federal court. I have the tenacity and experience that it takes to take on the vast resources of the U.S. Attorney's office and fight for the rights and record of my clients. I know what federal prosecutors can and cannot do in pursuing a felony conviction, and I know how to stand up to them in fierce advocacy for my clients. Avoid accumulating even one of the three strikes it takes for felony charges to land one in prison, for life. As a seasoned criminal defense attorney, I handle felony cases including fraud, tax fraud, embezzlement, weapons charges, misappropriation of cash, misappropriation of assets, white collar crime, and Internet scams. I have experience representing clients in felony drug cases involving marijuana, cocaine, and crack. Misdemeanor Crimes
I have experience defending clients who have been charged with soliciting prostitutes, including online solicitation of prostitution. I also defend people who have been charged with assault and aggravated assault, writing bad checks, shoplifting, and misdemeanor drug possession. If you have been charged with a crime, a Government lawyer is already preparing a case against you. As your criminal defense law firm, we will be your advocate in minimizing the damage to your record while aggressively protecting your rights throughout your case.
