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.

Types of Violent Crimes in Tennessee
Our team defends clients accused of all types of violent crimes in and around Chattanooga, such as:
In any violent crime case, our team works to collect and analyze all evidence in search of flaws, inconsistencies, police errors, and other mistakes. This can involve the examination of all scientific and forensic evidence as well, such as fingerprint and blood spatter analysis, crime scene reconstruction, medical reports, and more.
Immediate Steps to Take When Facing a Warrant
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.
No matter how serious the violent crime charge, turn to Speek, Turner & Newkirk PLLC for aggressive defense. Contact us online or by phone at (423) 799-3030.

"Best attorney in Chattanooga"By far Mr Speek is the best attorney in Chattanooga. I highly recommend his expertise to anyone . Mr Speek is a very prestigious gentleman and really cares about his clients. Anytime I had a question his amazing staff was very prompt in getting an answer. Very sweet , polite and knowledgeable girls that work in the office as well. Walking in to hire a lawyer for me was very humiliating and uncomfortable. As soon as I walked in the office I felt very welcome and at ease. Mr Speek is very loyal to his clients and you can tell that he sincerely cares. Also a very known respected attorney . I can’t thank Mr Speek enough for all his help . I would highly recommend Mr Speek to anyone seeking an attorney.- Laura P.

"Absolutely a ten on the stars rating"I want to give a ten stars but google has 1-5 stars. Jonathan Turner was my lawyer and my case and it's over and my dui (2nd) got totally dismissed. We went to court many times and it always got pushed forward to another day. We dealt with blood test result and inconsistent and retesting. Covid was also a big factor in my case being extended for months and months. Different DA"s, not a good deal on the table and other factors included in my case. In the end,,, absolutely a ten on the stars rating from me. Dismissed..... I recommend Jonathan and his group highly. Thank you Jonathan so very much!!! Thank you again!!!- Dale J.
