Introduction to Criminal Sentencing in Tennessee
In a series of articles over the next couple of weeks, I will be discussing some of the various aspects of Tennessee’s Criminal Sentencing Reform Act of 1989 (“Reform Act”). My goal in discussing this topic is to encourage people who have been charged with a crime to seek out representation so as to give themselves the best chance for avoiding or reducing possible jail time.
An experienced Tennessee criminal defense attorney knows the substance of the charges levied against you, their consequences, and, if convicted, how to reduce or possibly avoid jail time altogether. An experienced criminal defense attorney can also seek out alternative sentencing in lieu of jail time, which can prevent criminal charges from going on your permanent criminal history.

Our offices are located in Knoxville and Sevierville, but we serve clients from all over East Tennessee and beyond. Call 866-853-2888 now to schedule an initial case consultation.
