Drug Crimes Defense

Expert Criminal Defense Attorney for Drug Crimes

The “War on Drugs” has brought with it severe consequences for those convicted of drug offenses. At Whitaker Law Office, we understand how even one drug-related conviction can change your life. When facing drug charges, you need defense as intense as the charges you’re facing.

In the state of Tennessee, simple possession of a controlled substance such as marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine is considered a Class A misdemeanor. These types of charges carry up to 11 months and 29 days in jail time as well as fines of up to $2,500.

We are well-versed in Tennessee’s drug laws and can defend you against charges related to the following substances:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Crack-cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Heroin
• Prescription drugs (OxyContin, Vicodin, Fentanyl, and other opiates/opioids)
• Other illegal drugs

Many drug charges stem from evidence discovered before your arrest. If this search has compromised your Fourth Amendment rights, the court could remove evidence or drop/dismiss your charges. We’re ready to defend you against charges related to:

• Possession
• Possession with intent to sell or deliver
• Trafficking
• Other drug-related offenses
