Violent Crimes

Representing the Accused in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi

Violent crimes tend to garner attention from the media, law enforcement and the community at large. The court of public opinion often judges and convicts the accused long before evidence is presented in a court of law. An experienced defense attorney not only understands this difficulty, but also knows how to pursue a strong defense despite the challenge.

At the Law Office of Massey McClusky & Swanson, we represent individuals charged with violent crimes in Tennessee and throughout the Mid-South. With 40 years of combined legal experience, our lawyers have the knowledge and skill to provide straightforward and intelligent representation for those accused of committing violent acts against others. Call our office in Memphis at 901-201-6747 or 888-341-4226 to schedule a free initial consultation.

Protecting Your Rights

Our attorneys handle all types of violent crime cases, such as:

  • Assault
  • Aggravated assault
  • Kidnapping
  • Aggravated kidnapping
  • Car jacking
  • Aggravated robbery
  • Aggravated burglary
  • Murder

When our criminal defense team represents you, we assemble a team of highly trained lawyers and if needed experts, to examine your case. We will seek scientific evidence to support your defense, including:

  • Blood splatter analysis
  • DNA evidence
  • Fingerprint analysis
  • Crime scene reconstruction
  • Review of medical records
  • Firearm testing, ballistic and trajectory analysis

Using all available evidence, our legal team establishes a well-planned defense strategy, which may include elements of alibi, diminished capacity, duress, impossibility or self-defense.

Thorough Preparation

Our criminal defense attorneys prepare each case as though it will proceed to trial, but we will use our seasoned negotiation skills to resolve the matter outside the courtroom if possible. It is important to note that our firm believes in negotiating from a position of strength. We believe they should be settled on our terms, not the prosecutor's.
