Domestic Violence and Spousal Abuse
Click here to read What to Do if Someone has Filed or Plans to File a Restraining Order Against You.
Tennessee domestic violence cases are taken very seriously and many counties have an assistant district attorney that prosecutes only domestic violence cases. These prosecutors take their job very seriously and will work vigorously to get a conviction. Therefore, you need to hire an attorney that has experience handling domestic violence cases and will fight vigorously for your rights.
Having a protective order imposed against you can have serious consequences. You will probably be forced out of your home. You might lose your child custody and visitation rights. Being convicted on a criminal domestic violence charge is even worse.
If you are the subject of a temporary protective order or if you face a criminal domestic violence charge, you need legal representation as soon as possible. This is very serious and your life and your future could be affected.

Avoiding the Imposition of a Protective Order
Within two weeks from the issuance of a temporary protective order, a hearing will be scheduled for a final protective order. Trying to defend yourself at this hearing is not wise. This is your best opportunity to avoid more serious consequences in the months and years ahead, so an effective defense is essential.
Our firm will energetically defend you at this hearing. Mr. Marlowe can present evidence in your favor, call witnesses, and challenge other witnesses’ testimony. His goal will be to avoid the imposition of the order. If that cannot be prevented, he will seek to mitigate the conditions of the order.
Defending People Accused of Criminal Domestic Violence
If you are subject to an order of protection, a conviction for misdemeanor assault is treated as a Class C felony. For all intents and purposes, that makes you a convicted felon under federal law. You will be unable to own or possess a firearm. You may be prohibited from holding a job with federal, state or municipal governments. You will have a criminal record and may find it more difficult to obtain employment in the private sector.
Billy Marlowe will vigorously defend your rights and your freedom. He will take every opportunity to challenge the prosecutor’s evidence and present evidence in your favor.
Do not hesitate to contact us. Your future is at stake.
