At the Stapleton Law Office, we understand the importance of each of our clients' cases. We know that the outcome of a trial or settlement can have a lasting impact on the life of a person and his or her family. For this reason, we treat your case with the respect and professionalism it deserves while at the same time providing our full resources to your case to ensure success.
When you are arrested and charged with a crime, it is crucial to remain calm and focus on making smart, responsible decisions. One of the best decisions that you can make is to call an experienced Rogersville criminal defense lawyer. You need someone who can represent you in and out of court in East Tennessee and will defend your constitutional rights.
DUI/DWI
If you or a loved one has recently been arrested—or if you believe you are under investigation for a crime—it is vital you secure legal representation right away so that the prosecution doesn’t use anything else you say or do to build a case against you. Mark Stapleton has extensive experience fighting for clients accused of DUI, violent crimes, and more and is prepared to put that experience to work for you.
Wrongful Death
Personal Injury: We represent individuals throughout East Tennessee in personal injury claims related to traffic accidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and more.
Sex Crimes
Being a native of East Tennessee I have developed a criminal practice as well representing criminal clients charged with murder all the way down to DUI and assault cases. I am one of a small handful of lawyers across the state of Tennessee that has ever had a jury return a “not guilty†verdict against a client who was charged with murder. I have had “not guilty†jury verdicts in rape cases, assault cases, drug cases, and DUI cases as well. There is a great sense of accomplishment that I enjoy with my client when we get the “not guilty†jury verdict at the end of all of the work that we put into these cases.
Theft
Misdemeanors
In addition to our personal injury practice, the Stapleton Law Office has defended clients in a wide variety of criminal defense matters in Tennessee. We have successfully resolved many misdemeanor cases to virtually all felony cases, including those involving murder charges.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Murder
Additionally, we have secured many favorable verdicts for our criminal defense clients; founding attorney Mark Stapleton had the unique experience that very few lawyers ever have of hearing a jury say “Not guilty” to one of his clients who was charged with first-degree murder.
During my practice of over 32 years, I’ve had the privilege and honor of securing millions of dollars for my clients. I was born in Hawkins County, Tennessee and currently have the highest personal injury jury verdict ever awarded, in excess of seven-figures, in Hawkins County, Tennessee. During my practice, I have had the privilege of trying personal injury jury trials in 11 different counties across upper East Tennessee.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
The Stapleton Law Office provides representation and legal care for clients needing Social Security Disability to get their lives back on track. We investigate your case and your injuries fully and thoroughly.
