Defending Against Drug Crime Charges in Tennessee

Controlled substances are divided into five categories called schedules. Schedule I drugs include those with the most potential for addiction, abuse, and no medical use; these include but are not limited to LSD and cocaine. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime involving prescription drugs or interstate drug interdiction, then let our firm provide you with the skillful legal assistance that you need on your side. We work to build a strong case and pursue a favorable outcome through court proceedings, as well as behind the scenes to expose flaws in evidence and the prosecution's case to pursue a dismissal of your charges.  

Schedule V drugs include those with the least potential for abuse and addiction and widely accepted medical use; examples include Valium and Robitussin AC. Criminal offenses involving these various categories of controlled substances may include possession, cultivation, and distribution.
