"Being falsely accused and having to go to trial is the most horrible experience anyone can endure. Johnson, Scruggs and Barfield was able to guide me through the process on the way to victory and freedom."

- Arthur P.

Nashville Child Molestation Lawyers

When someone is accused of sexual assault on a child, a unique battle takes place in the hearts and minds of everyone involved: a battle between our desire for basic freedom and justice and our love of innocent children. This is the wrong battle. The real battle is between justice and emotions. When emotions take over, it leads to a situation in which those accused of a sex crime are automatically deemed guilty. This unjust treatment stacks the odds against those accused of child molestation. We know how to balance those odds.

Our child molestation defense lawyers have over 25 years of experience fighting for the rights of people in Nashville, Atlanta, and the surrounding areas. We understand the unique dynamics that take over in these cases, and we understand how to work against them. Our trial lawyers will work with you to determine the best means of defending your rights. Together, we will build a plan that has your future in mind, whether it involves plea bargaining or providing strong child molestation defense in the courtroom.

We live in a conflicted society. The media sells products with overtly sexual images of adults and teens, yet when someone is accused of a sexual offense, they are quick to assert guilt. This unfairly influences everyone involved, from police and district attorneys to the jury the accused's case is tried in front of. Our child molestation defense attorneys have the experience necessary to communicate with the jury rationally. We understand how to properly examine evidence and witnesses. We know how to present information logically and cut through the emotionally subterfuge that may be used against the defendant, getting straight to the truth.

Act Promptly

If you have been arrested or under investigation for any criminal offense, you should not talk with anyone about the facts around your case until you have spoken with one of our attorneys. Whatever you say, no matter how innocent it may seem to you, has the potential to be turned around by law enforcement to be used against you. Because of this, you should contact us by either clicking here for e-mail or call us at 615-352-8326 and ask for Patrick Johnson.
