The family and criminal law attorneys at Bennett & Michael have been fighting for the rights of the accused and defending the rights of parents and their children in Coffee County, Tennessee for several decades.  We look forward to the opportunity to do the same for you.

Bennett & Michael in the Coffee County, Tennessee Community

We are fortunate in the United States to have access to the best justice system in the world. For those who do not work in the system, however, it can be intimidating to find yourself a party to litigation. Moreover, if you are up against an adversary who is familiar with the system, you can find yourself at a distinct disadvantage. At Bennett & Michael, we are dedicated to aggressively and zealously defending the rights of our Coffee County friends and neighbors who find themselves in family or criminal court.

Family law issues bring out heightened emotions in everyone involved, which is understandable given the fact that the outcome of a family law case could impact the lives of everyone involved for many, many years to come. Whether you are fighting for custody, going through a painful divorce, petitioning for guardianship of a parent, or even finalizing an adoption, you will undoubtedly experience a wide range of heightened emotions throughout the case. With so much at stake, the advice, guidance, and advocacy of an experienced family law attorney from Bennett and Michael will be invaluable and will increase the likelihood of prevailing dramatically.

Criminal court brings out similar worries and fears given the possibility of being convicted of a criminal offense. If you have never before been arrested for a crime, the confusion and concern, as well as the mistakes, typically begin the moment you are arrested. If you don’t know your rights, how can you protect them? If you don’t know your rights, how can you know when and how to exercise them? Unfortunately, this naivete on the part of a suspect/defendant is often exploited by law enforcement officers and/or prosecutors. Ultimately, the best way to protect yourself and your rights is to retain the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney from Bennett and Michael. In the meantime, however, a few simple rules can make a huge difference to the eventual outcome of your case.

  1. Never consent to the search of your property. Always force the police to obtain a warrant.
  2. Never agree to answer questions –  not matter how harmless they may seem. Always ask to speak to an attorney first.
  3. Never discuss your case with anyone. This includes your friends, family members, and cell mates while in custody.
  4. Never accept a guilty plea agreement – no matter how great the prosecutor makes the offer sound. Always consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney first.

Whether you need a family law or criminal defense attorney, the team at Bennett & Michael is committed to aggressively and zealously represent you and your rights throughout your interaction with the Coffee County, Tennessee court system.
