What Are the Penalties for a Drug Trafficking Conviction in TN?

Facing drug trafficking charges in Tennessee can be a daunting experience, with serious legal repercussions that could impact your future. It's crucial to understand the potential consequences and the importance of having a skilled attorney by your side. A conviction can lead to significant prison time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record, which can affect your employment prospects, housing opportunities, and personal relationships.

At May & McKinney, PLLC, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge about the legal process. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Mandatory Minimum Sentences: Tennessee has strict laws regarding drug trafficking, often resulting in mandatory minimum sentences that can vary based on the type and amount of drug involved.
  • Impact on Future Opportunities: A drug trafficking conviction can hinder your ability to secure employment, obtain professional licenses, or even qualify for housing.
  • Possibility of Plea Bargains: In some cases, negotiating a plea bargain may be a viable option. Our attorneys can help you explore this possibility to mitigate the consequences.
  • Defensive Strategies: Understanding the various defenses available for drug trafficking charges can be crucial. Our team will work diligently to build a strong defense tailored to your specific situation.
  • Support Throughout the Process: We provide comprehensive support throughout your case, ensuring you are informed and prepared for every step of the legal process.

In federal drug trafficking cases, the government usually prefers to stay in the background, accumulating as much evidence as possible before acting. This means that undercover agents may watch your house, follow you around town, and monitor your activities — and you may know nothing about it until you are suddenly arrested.

If you think you may be suspected of drug trafficking or if you have already been charged with this offense, our law firm can help. Our Nashville drug trafficking attorneys can promptly launch an investigation of our own designed to sift through the prosecution's evidence against you. If the government agents committed any constitutional rights violations such as illegally searching your property, we will fight to ban that unlawfully obtained evidence from the courtroom.

To learn more about developing a strong defense strategy against drug sales or trafficking charges, arrange your free consultation with our Nashville drug trafficking lawyers. Call (615) 265-6383 or contact us online today.

    "Incredibly helpful"
    This was my first experience ever being accused of a crime and I was very nervous and scared. Rob and his staff were incredibly helpful, answering all of my questions and putting my mind at ease throughout the process. In the end, we were able to get everything dismissed successfully. Although in the grand scheme, my case was a relatively minor one, Rob always was there to help and it was clear that his knowledge and experience would be hard to find anywhere else. I would absolutely recommend Rob and his team to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

    "Mr. McKinney is listed with Super Layers for a reason!"
    In the darkest and most ashamed moment of my life, Mr. McKinney with all of his kindness, encouragement, and unsurpassed knowledge for the Tennessee law was by my side. I am nearly 60 years old and never had a conflict in my life, let alone one that involved an uncontrollable emotional reaction, that resulted in a physical altercation. Yet under the influence of prescribed drugs for insomnia, anxiety management, and alcohol, I made a grave mistake which resulted in Class C Aggravated Assault Felony Charge. To complicate matters, I am not a resident of Tennessee. It goes without saying that Mr. McKinney has earned the utmost respect as a top tier lawyer from the Tennessee court system. He was able to professionally articulate my case to the court, emphasizing that I risk losing employment, showed that I voluntarily turned myself in, and that I was a first-time offender. The court listened to him and as a result he was able to negotiate terms that far exceeded my expectations. I spent a lot of time between my arrest and court appearance researching the standard outcomes for an aggravated assault charge in the State of Tennessee, and based on what I read, I expected the worst judgement to be passed down. Mr. McKinney however worked with the court system to not impose jailtime and an opportunity to have the charges expunged from my record. I know that I will forever be ashamed and grieve over the event, but he was able to provide me with the opportunity to work the rest of my life making this right to the victim, my family, and others that were emotionally impacted. Mr. McKinney is worth his weight in gold. He knows the law. He is respected. He is highly skilled as a lawyer. He is the very best. I only wish I met and got to know of him under better circumstances.

    "Repeat offender facing time"
    When I got I hemmed up in Gallatin and caught two charges, I was told I was facing 180 days plus an extra 180-365 days serving time. I told my folks I was tired of taking chances with amateurs when It came to a legal defense lawyer. I initially called Frank Lannom's office, but they regrettably informed they did not practice in Sumner but they knew who did that was just as good and experienced. They gaveme the number to Mr. McKinneys office here. I called them up and Ms Savannah Edmonds met with me that day on a zoom meeting. I gave a very professional summarization of my charges , sentance they carried, as well as the exact figure they would charge. She even called me back to correct herself on something she said wrong. I thought that was exceptionally professional. Needless to say I knew May and McKinney were the lawyers I want defending me. It's easy to make back money. You can't get your time back. Anyway today was the first day of court with my Lawyer. And my first offer was "both charges dismissed" . Now you can't get much better than that. If you want to save money, take the amateurs and risk loosing your life, your name, your integrity or hire the professionals of May and McKinney and get results. Remember "you get what ya pay for" and with May and Mckinney it's well worth every penny !

Your assistance and representation were completely amazing!
