Tennessee Drug Crimes Lawyers: Fighting to Protect Your Rights
Our Nashville criminal defense attorneys understand the harsh penalties and consequences you may be facing with your driving under the influence (DUI) charges. Tennessee takes a strict stand against drunk driving and driving under the influence of any drug, including prescription drugs. Your penalties may increase with each additional conviction.
At Thompson Law Group, we also understand the penalties for refusing to submit to a Breathalyzer test or field sobriety test. Tennessee has an implied consent clause, which means you imply consent to future testing when you received your license. If you refuse, you could automatically lose your driver's license for up to a year.
Depending on your situation, your DUI or drug charges could cause you to experience:
- Jail time
- Costly fines
- Expensive court costs
- Rehabilitation
- Suspension of your driver's license
- Inability to vote
- Inability to own a firearm
Other areas of practice that we can help you with:
- Offenses against the person - sexual offenses
- Assault
- Robbery or Burglary
- Possession or Theft
- Arson
- Animals
- White Collar Crimes

Extensive Investigations
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling DUI and drug cases. When handling your DUI case, our first step is to review the police video, if available, which may include your field sobriety test and Breathometer submission. We can review the police video and report to determine if proper police procedures were followed. If not, we can try to have your charges dismissed or reduced.
Pursuing Resolutions
Our Nashville DUI attorneys understand the importance of negotiating resolutions. Most criminal cases are resolved with the District Attorney. If it is in your best interest, we can try to resolve your case by agreement. For instance, we can seek a reduced charge of reckless driving but only if the facts support such an argument and of course only with the approval of the client
Drug possession cases can be more complex. State laws require certain regulations and codes be followed when handling your case. Our goal is to help minimize your consequences. We can look at negotiating drug or alcohol treatment in the place of jail time or have a trial, if when necessary. We can also pursue an agreement that your charges can result in expungement later.
