Drugs & Narcotics Defense

We can defend against the various drug offenses in Tennessee, including drug possession, drug trafficking, drug manufacturing, selling drugs, or illegally acquiring prescription drugs.

Not all drug charges are the result of possessing an “illegal” drug. Individuals can be charged with serious felony charges for possessing prescription drugs like Xanax, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, and other opioids.  The drug laws apply to anything that is considered a “controlled substance.”  

People can be charged with drug offenses individually, or as part of a larger conspiracy including multiple individuals. The charges can be the result of something as simple as a traffic stop, or from a lengthy investigation from entities such as the DEA.

It is an offense for a defendant to knowingly:

  • Manufacture a controlled substance

  • Deliver a controlled substance

  • Sell a controlled substance

  • Possess a controlled substance with intent to manufacture, deliver or sell the controlled substance

Know and Protect Your Rights

There are factors to consider when one is charged with a drug offense, many of which are out of your control once you are charged. One factor you can control is choosing an experienced attorney to help protect your rights. Your success relies heavily on your defense team to fight drug charges and help you limit the permanent negative consequences such charges can have on your life.

Evidence against you can be misinterpreted, you may be the victim of false identification, or you may be charged with intent to distribute when you had no such intent. Our attorneys will investigate your case and defend against shaky evidence that could seriously affect the outcome of your case and sentence.

In Tennessee, drug prosecutions are common as the government continues to fight its war on drugs. In fact, drug arrests are on the rise and account for over one-third of all arrests.

We uphold the highest standards in legal criminal defense and work tirelessly to protect the rights of those who entrust our attorneys with their criminal defenses, which often have life-altering consequences. We have extensive experience handling drug related offenses in both General Sessions and Criminal Court in East Tennessee
