The Firm

Tennessee and Florida Criminal Defense Attorney

The Law Office of Brent Horst vigorously defends clients throughout Tennessee, including Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, and Memphis, and Florida, Miami,  who have been charged with a serious crime.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

If you have been charged with a crime, you have a great deal at risk, including your freedom and a permanent criminal record. A permanent criminal record could affect your future, including employment and career opportunities. Obviously, prison can also adversely affect your future choices.

But I am innocent; do I still need a lawyer?

Yes. Innocent people get convicted and go to jail. Some serve their whole sentence, others, who are fortunate, can get out after lengthy appeals or after a possibly lengthier time, if new evidence of innocence turns up down the road. You should mount an aggressive, experienced defense from the outset, even if you are innocent.

Experience—Over 20 Years—Over 100 Criminal Jury Trials

In the courtroom, there is no substitute for experience. You can learn theory and the law in law school, but you can't learn how to evaluate a judge, jury, or how certain individuals will respond to certain evidence. You also can't learn how to evaluate a case properly and your chances of success without some real-world experience.

Our attorney has over 20 years of criminal trial experience. He has tried over 100 jury cases to verdict. He understands how to evaluate your chances of success, as well as which strategies yield you the most favorable results. His skill and experience have allowed him to handle thousands of cases, as well as earn a track record of success in the courtroom.
