Many people who are convicted of murder or homicide are convicted because of a confession. Unfortunately, these individuals do not ask for an attorney during the investigation. Sometimes, the accused is persuaded by the police that he or she does not need a lawyer, and are ultimately coerced into the confession. Our manslaughter and homicide defense lawyers work diligently to represent the client, including:

• analyzing the police techniques
• investigating the confession

Tennessee homicide attorneys work to ascertain if the confession was a true confession or if the confession was indeed coerced. Tennessee homicide lawyers are experienced knowing how to detect signs of unconstitutional police misuse or abuse. Additionally, we have the resources available to psychologically analyze the confession for coercion and can have experts brought in to analyze and determine the true cause of death.

Our Tennessee murder and manslaughter defense attorneys represent clients throughout Tennessee, including Knox County, Sevier County, Cocke County, Blount County, and the cities of Bristol, Chattanooga, Johnson City, and Nashville.
