Paternity Actions
A paternity action is the proper legal process for bestowing parental rights to a father who has not been legally recognized previously. Our firm supports both mothers and fathers in paternity actions.
A paternity action is used to name the father of a child, but it can also include such issues as determining child support, and child custody and visitation.
Dependency and Neglect Actions
Most of these actions arise through the Tennessee Department of Children's Services. A dependency and neglect action can result in your children being removed from your care. We will help you defend yourself against whatever allegations are being used as the basis for the action. Our firm is dedicated to helping families stay together and reuniting those families who have been separated.
Criminal Juvenile Actions
When juveniles are charged with a crime, it is important that their rights are protected. Everyone who has been accused of a crime has the right to a zealous defense. If your child has been charged with a crime you need to take action. Securing the representation of a skilled criminal defense attorney is the first and most important step.
