Tennessee Juvenile Drug Possession Penalties
The juvenile justice system is supposed to be focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment — at least in theory. In reality, minors arrested for drug crimes can face harsh consequences such as:
- Revocation of driver's license
- Suspension from school or extracurricular activities
- A record that will be visible to law enforcement officers during traffic stops
- Possible loss of educational opportunities in college and graduate school
- Loss of eligibility for student grants and loans
- Incarceration at a juvenile facility
One statistic is enough to convince most parents that a juvenile detention center is not a place where they would want their child to spend even a night. Nationally, 1 in 10 juveniles report that they were sexually abused by a guard or another inmate while they were kept in a juvenile detention facility.
Our goal is to keep the focus of the juvenile justice system where it belongs — on rehabilitation.

"If your looking for a great lawyer, stop looking & hire these guys!"I can’t thank Rob Mckinney enough for all of his help with my case . I had never been in trouble before, & was very leery on paying for a lawyer, but from the moment I hired them, until my case was over, I never regretted my decision to have them represent me. Both Rob & Shyanne took every one of my phone calls, & answered every question that I ever could possibly come up. I was an emotional mess from the get go, and probably asked 1000 more questions than necessary, but they took the time to go through absolutely everything with me, and never made me feel like I was wasting their time or that I was inferior to them. Their knowledge, wisdom and guidance was so comforting & helped me with the stress of the legal process. My case took 2 years & 13 court appearances, so it was not an easy journey, but they made me feel at ease the entire time, & in the end, the charges were dropped. Thank you ! - Lisa F (aka super satisfied client)- Lisa F
