Types of Drug Charges We Handle

Drug Possession (Misdemeanor & Felony)

Whether you’ve been charged with simple possession of marijuana or a controlled substance like cocaine, heroin, or meth, we work to minimize penalties and fight for clean outcomes — especially for first-time offenders.

Possession With Intent to Sell

If you’re accused of possessing a quantity of drugs that suggests distribution or sale, penalties can increase dramatically. We challenge the evidence — including quantity, packaging, and alleged intent — to protect your freedom.

Drug Trafficking & Distribution

Trafficking charges carry some of the most severe penalties under Tennessee law. We defend against accusations of transporting, distributing, or selling illegal substances, including multi-jurisdiction and federal-level investigations.

Prescription Drug Offenses

Prescription fraud, doctor shopping, or illegal possession of medications like oxycodone, Adderall, or Xanax can result in criminal charges. We fight to keep these cases from turning into lifelong records.

Drug Manufacturing & Cultivation

From growing marijuana to operating a meth lab, manufacturing charges are aggressively prosecuted in Tennessee. We defend clients by investigating the legality of the search, seizure, and arrest, and building a strong case for dismissal or reduction.

What to Do If You’re Charged with a Drug Crime in Cleveland, TN

If you've been arrested on drug charges:


  • Do not admit guilt or talk to police without an attorney present.

We examine every detail — from how evidence was obtained to whether your rights were violated during arrest — and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.
