Drug Charge Defense: Fighting for Your Future
Facing drug charges can be overwhelming. You might be unsure of your rights and the potential consequences, which can range from hefty fines to jail time. Here at Chelsea Nicholson Law, our skilled defense attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and achieving the best possible outcome in your case.
Understanding Drug Charges in Tennessee
Drug charges in Tennessee vary depending on the type and quantity of the controlled substance involved. Here are some common types of drug charges:
- Simple Possession or Casual Exchange: This refers to possessing a small amount of controlled substance for personal use. This is a misdemeanor offense in Tennessee within most cases unless multiple offenses or prior convictions.
- Possession with Intent to Sell or Deliver: This is a more serious charge that indicates you intended to sell or distribute the drug. This is considered a felony offense in Tennessee.
- Manufacturing: This charge applies if you were involved in the creation of a controlled substance.
- Drug Trafficking: This refers to the large-scale transportation or sale of illegal drugs.
Drug Charge Defense
Our team will take a comprehensive approach to your case, including:
- In-Depth Investigation: We will meticulously examine the details of your arrest, including the legality of the stop and search, police procedures, and the testing of any seized substances.
- Challenging the Stop and Search: If the initial stop or search was unlawful, any evidence obtained might be excluded from your case.
- Exploring Defense Options: We will explore all potential defenses such as mistaken identity, lack of knowledge, or illegal entrapment.
- Negotiation: In many cases, we can negotiate with the prosecution to reduce the charges or pursue alternative sentencing options, such as drug treatment programs.
