Meth Labs A Team Who Will Tenaciously Defend You Every Step of the Way

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 so, we could get the charges either reduced or dismissed.

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

    I seriously can’t give this guy enough credit! I’ve made a few bad choices in my lifetime before I got it together and I’ve had rob mckinney represent me for most of it.

If you’re looking for a great lawyer look no further mr. McKinney is your guy!

    "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)
