Knoxville criminal defense attorney

A charge is not the end of your story.

Criminal cases move quickly and can affect freedom, employment, family, and reputation. Andrew Beamer helps clients understand the accusation, protect their rights, and prepare for the decisions ahead.

Criminal matters Beamer Law handles

Andrew represents adults and juveniles in Tennessee criminal courts, from early investigation through motion practice, negotiation, trial, and, when appropriate, appeal.

  • DUI and driving-related offenses
  • Assault and domestic-assault allegations
  • Theft, burglary, and property offenses
  • Fraud and financial offenses
  • Sex-offense allegations
  • Serious felony charges
  • Juvenile delinquency matters
  • Probation and related proceedings

Start with what is actually known

An arrest report or accusation is only part of the story. Effective preparation may require reviewing video, statements, digital evidence, search procedures, laboratory results, witness credibility, and the prosecution’s ability to prove every required element.

Andrew begins by identifying the immediate risks, the evidence that exists, and the evidence that still needs to be obtained.

Protect deadlines and preserve evidence

Do not miss court, ignore release conditions, contact a protected person, or delete messages or files that may relate to the case. Write down what happened while the events are fresh, but do not post about the case or discuss it with potential witnesses.

If law enforcement wants to question you, ask for a lawyer. Do not assume that explaining more will make the situation disappear.

What to bring

  • Citations, warrants, bond papers, and charging documents
  • Every known court date and release condition
  • Names of agencies and witnesses involved
  • Relevant messages, photographs, or video—preserved, not altered
  • A list of questions about immediate practical concerns
