Nashville Methamphetamines Attorney
Facing Charges for Operating a Meth Lab in TN?
Law enforcement departments in Tennessee seize approximately 2,000 meth labs per year, ranging from small "shake and bake" operations for personal use to larger operations that produce meth in quantity for sale. Only Missouri has more meth lab busts than Tennessee.
If you have been arrested for operating a meth lab, the odds may seem stacked against you. It is important to remember, however, that you still have the right to legal counsel. You are also protected against illegal searches and seizures by law enforcement. If your constitutional rights were violated in any way during or after the investigation or your arrest, this could be used to render evidence inadmissible or even dismiss your charges altogether.
Find out more about your rights in the face of meth lab charges by contacting May McKinney at (615) 265-6383. Our seasoned Nashville methamphetamines attorneys defend clients across Tennessee.
Meth Manufacturing Penalties in Tennessee
Tennessee views meth as its most serious drug problem. As a result, the penalties can be extremely harsh, even for a first-time offense. For example, if you are convicted of operating a meth lab in a house where there is a child under the age of eight, you could face 15-25 years in prison.
You could face up to 1 year in prison and a $1,000 fine for merely purchasing more than 3.6 grams of pseudoephedrine per day or 9 grams in 30 days (a crime called smurfing).
Challenging Meth Lab Arrests & Charges in Franklin, Brentwood, Mount Juliet & the Surrounding Areas
If you think you may be suspected of meth manufacturing or if you have already been charged with this offense, May McKinney may be able to help. Our Nashville methamphetamines attorneys can promptly launch an investigation designed to test the state's evidence against you. We can use our extensive knowledge of drug search and seizure law to determine if law enforcement officers may have violated your constitutional rights.

If you are contacted by law enforcement, you should not say anything until you consult with an experienced lawyer. You could inadvertently give police the probable cause they need to arrest you.

"Do not give up hope"Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Rob McKinney and his entire law firm. This was my first experience with needing legal representation. After speaking with other attorneys, I was told that there was not much they could be do for me. I was fully aware that the odds were stacked against me and I was losing hope. Mr. McKinney told me that he would fight for me and that is exactly what he did. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend this firm- Anonymous

"Best criminal lawyer in Nashville."I have met with Mr. McKinney during a very difficult time. I was welcomed with open arms. Aside from being the best lawyer, he is a very caring person. He accomplished the impossible in my case. He worked relentlessly and brought my charges down from a serious felony to a misdemeanor. Which is unheard of from what I understand. I would have faced deportation but with his expertise and commitment to my case now I can become a citizen. Rob McKinney and his team gave me a second chance in life! For that I am forever grateful.- Pinar James

"Look no further, Rob McKinney is the defense attorney you need."As a LEO wife, I was served with a frivolous OP from an estranged step family member. With the possibility of my husband not being able to process any firearms in our household, Mr McKinney's understanding the severity of the situation, Rob took the time to investigate and prepare for the hearing. With that said, Rob absolutely destroyed the petitioner and witnesses on the stand. It was worth the time, money and stress to see Rob in action. If the need ever arises in the future, Rob will always be our first call. You cannot go wrong putting your trust in Mr. McKinney.- Tara
