A criminal charge threatens your freedom, your record, and your future. Donnavon K. Vasek leads criminal defense at Vasek & Robbins, bringing more than 20 years of combined experience alongside J. Michael Robbins to every case we take on. We intentionally limit the number of clients we represent so each person receives direct attorney attention and a strategy built for their specific circumstances. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor in Wilson County General Sessions Court or a felony in Wilson County Circuit Criminal Court, we’re here to protect your constitutional rights and pursue the most effective defense available under the facts of your case.

To get started with your initial consultation, text or call us at (629) 281-8547 or fill out our online contact form today.

Criminal Charges We Defend in Lebanon & Wilson County

We represent clients accused of a wide range of criminal offenses in Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Carthage, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities. Our criminal defense work spans misdemeanor matters heard in Wilson County General Sessions Court and felony cases tried in Wilson County Circuit Criminal Court.

Common charges we handle include assault, domestic violence, theft, weapons offenses, and probation violations, each carrying distinct sentencing exposure and defense considerations. Felony convictions in Tennessee can reach well beyond incarceration: a conviction can affect voting rights, firearm rights, and eligibility for professional licensing. Misdemeanor convictions can also affect employment background checks and driving records depending on the offense.

What to Expect When You Work with Us

The earlier you involve an attorney, the more options may remain open. Evidence can be time-sensitive, and early legal intervention can affect how a case is positioned before charges are finalized.

We start with a consultation to understand your situation and assess the facts. From there, we build a defense strategy tailored to your circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our representation covers every stage: pre-charge, arraignment, hearings, negotiation, and trial if it comes to that. Throughout the process, you’ll communicate directly with your attorney. That’s not a tagline; it’s how we structure our practice.

Depending on the facts of your case, defense strategy may involve challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, identifying constitutional violations in how evidence was obtained, or negotiating plea agreements to address potential exposure. We evaluate each of those avenues based on your specific circumstances.

Attorneys Who Protect Your Future

DUI

Many clients charged with DUI have never been arrested before, and the uncertainty of what comes next can be overwhelming. Tennessee treats driving under the influence as one of the few misdemeanors that carries mandatory jail time, with sentences starting at 48 hours and extending up to 11 months and 29 days. A first offense is a Class A misdemeanor; subsequent offenses escalate in classification and minimum sentencing. Beyond jail time, a conviction can also trigger license revocation, mandatory alcohol education programs, ignition interlock device requirements, and significantly higher insurance rates. Hiring an experienced DUI attorney early can help you protect your rights before the case is set. We’re committed to providing counsel you can depend on through every stage of a driving under the influence case.

Drug Offenses

Prosecutors across Tennessee have made felony drug offenses a priority, using tactics that include controlled buys, physical surveillance, knock and talks, and targeted traffic stops. The reality is that many people caught in these enforcement efforts aren’t major traffickers; they’re individuals struggling with their own addiction who don’t fit the profile that mandatory sentencing laws were designed to target. That disconnect matters, and it shapes how we approach each case. We represent individuals accused of a variety of drug offenses in Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Carthage, and the surrounding areas.

I was facing prison on multiple drug charges did not know what I was going to do. My mom hired Mr.Vasek and he fought hard for my case.
