LET’S GET STARTED

DON’T LET A CRIMINAL CHARGE DEFINE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

When you’re accused of any kind of crime, it can be hard to know where to turn. To make matters worse, the justice system is stacked against you. When you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, remember: there is hope. I’m here to help clear a path for you to seek fair treatment under the law. Your rights—and your future—matter.

Accused of a White-Collar Crime or Healthcare Fraud?

Hundreds of people each year fall victim to business fraud and white-collar crimes in Anderson County, Roane County, and the rest of Tennessee. An accusation can deeply impact your personal and professional life, but it doesn’t have to be this way. You need to assert your rights when accused of money laundering, embezzlement, identity theft, and other crimes.

Charges of healthcare fraud are also serious. If you’ve been accused of billing for services not actually performed, misrepresenting health care procedures, or accepting kickbacks for patient referrals, get in touch with me. I’ll inform you of your rights under the law, and work closely with you and your business to seek the results you need to move forward.

Representation Against Assault, DUI, Juvenile Crimes, and More

If you or someone you love is caught up in the criminal justice system, never forget that you have options. After an accusation of drunk driving, assault, or juvenile crimes in Knoxville or anywhere else in our state, I can work with you to find a path forward. You don't have to fight these charges on your own.

Reach out to Cravens Legal in Knoxville for committed and compassionate guidance through this difficult time. I’m proud to serve all of Eastern Tennessee, including (but not limited to) Oak Ridge, Maryville, Sevierville, and the counties of Anderson, Roane, Blount, and Sevier, Tennessee.
