Why Drug Charges Are So Serious


Tennessee has some of the toughest drug laws in the country. Convictions can bring:

  • Jail or prison time

  • Heavy fines and court costs

  • Probation with strict conditions

  • Loss of driver’s license

  • A permanent criminal record that affects housing and employment

Felony conviction can carry additional consequences, such as loss of voting and firearm privileges, large fines, and exclusion from certain places of employment.

Remember: being charged is not the same as being convicted. You have defenses, and we’re here to build them.

Our Defense Approach

We leave no stone unturned in your case. Courtroom Calvary will:

  • Examine whether the search, stop, or arrest violated your rights

  • Challenge questionable evidence or unreliable lab testing

  • Negotiate for reduced charges or diversion programs when appropriate

  • Take your case to trial if that’s the best way to protect your future

Courtroom Calvary is in your corner.
