Eileen Parrish Law

As an experienced trial attorney, I handle criminal matters at various stages in both state and federal court, and at the trial and appellate levels. Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a felony, being charged with a crime or even connected with a crime can be a stressful and frightening experience. The things you say and do during this time can make a big difference in the outcome of your case. It is vital that you get an experienced attorney with a track record of success on your side as soon as possible.

With 12 years of experience in private practice and nearly two decades of experience, including 5 years as a public defender, I’m a veteran in criminal defense with a successful track record to prove it. I focus exclusively on protecting constitutional rights of people who have been accused of crimes in the Middle Tennessee area. Get the criminal defense attorney you deserve!

The penalties for people who are convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) are harsh in Tennessee. The state mandates that first-time offenders spend at least 48 hours in jail, receive a fine of $350 to $1,500, and lose their license for one year.

Drug offense charges can range from simple possession—which is a Class A Misdemeanor and punishable by less than one year in jail—to felony drug charges that can carry lengthy prison sentences. Being convicted of any drug charge in Tennessee can have a major impact on your future, but having an experienced drug offense attorney on your side can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your rights and even finding alternative sentencing options via a drug court.

Whether you’re a first-time offender who received probation in lieu of a jail sentence, or you were recently released from incarceration and are serving out the rest of your sentence on probation, violating this court order can result in serious charges and harsh penalties.

Because weapons charges can be felony offenses, even first-time offenders may be at risk of receiving prison sentences and criminal records that follow them for the rest of their lives. People who were previously convicted of felonies face even harsher penalties, with 10-year prison sentences being commonplace and 15-year prison sentences for people with previous drug and violence charges.
