Nashville, Tennessee, Drug Charges Lawyer
Violations involving drugs vary widely, from possession charges and prescription drug charges to the transport of large quantities of illegal drugs across state lines. All charges, however, including "victimless" violations that were performed privately, can bring serious consequences and must be taken seriously.
The Law Offices of Jennifer Lynn Thompson has helped numerous clients fight and beat their drug charges. After being arrested for a drug charge, it is natural to feel like an eventual conviction is assured. Actually, drug charges can be very difficult for prosecutors to try successfully in court. A defense we have often used successfully is improper police procedures, including violations of probable cause and search and seizure rules. For instance:
- It violates legal police procedure to pull a car over for minor driving peculiarities, like weaving slightly within the correct lane.
- It violates legal police procedures to search a car for drugs without probable cause after pulling someone over for minor traffic violations.
- It is definitely illegal to pull someone over after watching cars randomly with binoculars and looking for suspected drug violations.
We can work to defend charges involving driving while impaired, and charges involving the use and misuse of Benadryl, alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, heroin, and other legal and illegal drugs.
