If you have recently been contacted or visited by either the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), or any other federal law enforcement agents, you could be facing federal criminal charges.

Our Clarksville federal criminal defense attorneys can investigate your case, collect evidence, review evidence gathered by federal agents, and develop a strong and tailored defense strategy to help you avoid serious criminal penalties or even get your case dismissed altogether.
Common types of federal crimes our firm handles include:
- Drug crimes
- White collar crimes
- Sex crimes
- Military crimes
- Internet crimes
If it’s early on during the investigation phase, we can do our best to ensure you are not charged. Do not hesitate to contact us today at (931) 398-5308 for a consultation.
The Difference Between Federal & State Crimes
Most crimes in Tennessee violate state law, which state lawmakers have enacted to address state-related concerns. On the other hand, federal crimes involve matters of federal or national interest, such as drug trafficking, weapons and explosives charges, mail and wire fraud, tax evasion, terrorism, and immigration crimes.
The federal court handles the following types of criminal cases:
- Crimes committed on federal land – Common examples include robbery of a federal bank, destruction of property in a national forest, and homicide on a military base.
- Crimes committed throughout multiple states – For instance, identity theft involving many victims in different states.
- Crimes when an offender crosses state lines – For example, transporting drugs from one state to another.
- Violations of immigration and customs law – Common examples include international sex trafficking or distributing child pornography.
Federal crimes are punishable by longer sentences compared to state crimes and can include time spent in federal prison. Some charges, such as drug crimes, are associated with mandatory minimum sentences.
Our Clarksville federal crime lawyers can thoroughly assess your case, figure out all your available legal options, and help you obtain the most favorable result in federal court. We understand the complexities of the criminal justice system and we will take aggressive legal action in your favor.

I hired their law firm for a legal case and not only were they highly professional but always courteous and respectful. They exceeded my expectations and got me everything I needed. If I ever need legal services again I will definitely be choosing them in the future.

Grimes is the best defense lawyer you could ask for. He was able to take what would generally be a felony for sure and get it down to a misdemeanor and a fine. If you have him as your lawyer, you won't have anything to worry about.
