Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If the alleged crime happened in White County, the case will be handled here — regardless of where you live. That’s why having a Sparta-based criminal defense lawyer is so important.
That happens more than people think. Don’t panic. We’ll review everything you said and look for ways to limit the damage. It’s never too late to get legal help — but the sooner, the better.
Most criminal cases are resolved before trial, either through dismissal, plea deals, or diversion programs. But we always prepare like we’re heading to court. That pressure often leads to better results.
Carefully and aggressively. Small communities like Sparta can be quick to judge — we push back by challenging weak evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building a defense that works both in and out of court.

Brady Toller – Drug Possession
I am grateful there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree.
There is so much to say I will try and make this short as I can. Seth Crabtree is a man outstanding in his field. My case was not the toughest, but had obstacles to overcome… like 97 miles an hour in a 70 and a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.153%. I never stepped foot in the courtroom. Seth was able to get my DUI charge downgraded to a DISMISSAL and EXPUNGEMENT. Can I get an AMEN?
Seth Is very reasonable on is fees and goes above and beyond his duty. Seth gave my case 100%. I am grateful that there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree. Thank you sir, and your staff.

“We were scared and didn’t know what to do…”
Best team out there! My fiancé and I were driving from Texas to Washington DC. She was driving overnight as I was getting some rest and we got pulled over. My fiancé isn’t documented and doesn’t have a drivers license, so she got a ticket and also had to appear in court. Being from Texas and our first time dealing with something like this, we were scared and didn’t know what to do. When we got back to Texas, we Googled local lawyers and Seth Crabtree was one of the first ones that was recommended so we decided to contact the office. We did ALL communication over the phone and emails. Mr. Crabtree and his lovely team made it very easy for my fiancé and I to make sure we were taken care of, especially being from out of town. We didn’t even have to make one trip up to Tennessee and they made sure we were taken care of! Mr. Crabtree represented us in court and was able to dispute our case immediately. Thank you so much again for an easy experience!
