Carla Grebert
Grebert Law PLLC
I am a lawyer because I love the law, but I am a criminal defense lawyer because I love people.
It's my firm belief that everyone, no matter their situation, deserves to be treated with fairness and compassion. In our legal system the odds are stacked in favor of the prosecution, with district attorneys and law enforcement pushing hard for convictions. That's where I come in – I'm here to even the playing field and make sure you get a fair chance. Behind every case is a person with a unique story, and it's my job to tell that story, to make sure the DA and the court know that you are a person, not a case number.
Being your lawyer isn't just about putting up a strong defense; it's about making sure your rights are honored, to fight against overreach by police and district attorneys.
I defend clients in Davidson County and Wilson County, Tennessee on wide-ranging misdemeanor and felony criminal charges, such as DUI, assault, gun charges, drug charges, theft, and more.
I also defend against petitions for orders of protection. An order of protection against you can limit where you can shop, work, and go about your daily life. It will also keep your from possessing a firearm. I will work with you to mount a defense to so you have the best chance of defeating a petition for an order of protection.

- Q. What happens when a misdemeanor DUI case is bound over to a grand jury in Tennessee?
- A: "Bound over to the grand jury" means that after your preliminary hearing, the judge found there was enough evidence to suggest you might have committed the crime charged. Your case will now go to a group of citizens called a grand jury, who will decide whether there's probable cause to formally charge you with the crime (called an "indictment"). The grand jury will review the evidence (you won't be present for this), If indicted, your case moves forward to trial court (circuit/criminal court). If not indicted, the charges are dismissed. In the vast majority of the cases, the grand jury does indict. I would not expect any attempt to settle the case until it reaches ... Read More
- Q. What are the fines for TCA 39-16-602 Misdemeanor B in Tennessee?
- A: In Tennessee Class B misdemeanors are punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $500.00
- Q. Can an address violate TCA Section 39-17-417?
- A: It is likely that the address is included to establish jurisdiction.
For a case to be brought within a certain county, the offense must have occurred within the county. Jurisdiction is one of the things that the state has to prove in the case against you. So, the address would show that the court in that county has jurisdiction.
