When facing state or federal criminal charges, the decisions you make during the infancy of your case will impact your ability to successfully mount a defense.
Whether you have been arrested pursuant to a criminal complaint and warrant, or pursuant to an Indictment, or whether you have been approached and questioned by law enforcement as a suspect, target or even a witness or subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury, you need a skilled and respected criminal defense attorney to represent you and navigate you through the process.
Choosing an inexperienced attorney or one who does not focus his/her practice exclusively on criminal defense will likely be a mistake you will later regret - especially following an unjust or improvident conviction that will be difficult, if not impossible, to correct in retrospect.Choosing the right attorney is often the most important decision any criminal defendant makes.
We devote our law practice exclusively to criminal defense with a focus primarily on federal cases or the most serious state cases that may become federal cases.

Federal criminal cases are particularly serious and involve a level of legal complexity that is uncommon to state criminal offenses.
Likewise, federal court is a unique and demanding practice arena, wherein defense counsel must be well-versed in the nuances of an enormous body of federal law, including the Bail Reform Act, the United States Sentencing Guidelines, and all aspects of constitutional law, or else risk jeopardizing clients' interests.
The greatest post-arrest mistake made by criminal defendants in federal court is hiring an attorney who practices mainly in state criminal cases and lacks the familiarity with federal law possessed by an attorney who focuses on federal criminal defense.

For over two decades, attorney Kimberly Hodde has worked exclusively to defend the rights of those facing criminal charges in the Nashville, Tennessee area and across the U.S.
Ms. Hodde's record speaks for itself.

For over two decades, Kimberly S. Hodde, Attorney at Law, has represented clients charged (or on the cusp of being charged) in "white collar" cases.
She has successfully represented defendants charged with virtually every fraud-based crime punishable by law.
When retained in advance of indictment (or in the pre-charging stage), she has been able to prevent numerous clients from being prosecuted for fraud crimes, including securing grants of immunity for some.
Unlike gun and drug cases, the typical "white collar" case (particularly fraud cases) usually begins with a seemingly innocuous contact by law enforcement.

Consequently, lending institutions are eager to prosecute the slightest error, inaccuracy or omission that they deem "material" to the issuance of the loan (home, business, construction, line of credit, etc) through a retrospective lens.
