• How much does it cost to hire Fannie for a criminal defense case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Fannie walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Fannie offer a free consultation?

  Fannie charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Fannie's office. Some criminal defense attorneys offer free consults — check Fannie's current terms during booking.

• How long do criminal defense cases in Tennessee typically take?

  Simple criminal defense matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Fannie gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Fannie take my case if I'm outside Nashville?

  Fannie is licensed in Tennessee. Matters governed by Tennessee law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Fannie will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Fannie?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Fannie will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Fannie accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

  Fannie's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
