Legal Defense for Drug Crime Charges in Memphis

Memphis Drug Attorney

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.

If you have been arrested and charged with a drug crime, then you could face serious penalties if convicted. Depending on the schedule and amount of controlled substance that was involved in your charge, you could face a range of serious penalties upon conviction.

For example, if you are charged with possession of 0.5 oz to 10 lb of marijuana, then you will face Class E felony charges. These charges carry penalties of up to 6 years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines. It is vital that you have skilled legal assistance on your side and that you aggressively protect your rights.
