Nashville Drug Possession and DUI Defense Attorney
DUI and drug possession arrests together constitute a large percentage of arrests in Tennessee. Each charge brings unique challenges, unique defenses and its own set of plea bargain opportunities. The courts also offer unique programs aimed at helping offenders.
Experienced and Effective DWI/DUI and Drug Possession Defense
Those facing DUI, DWI or drug possession charges often face criminal charges for the first time. Fear, anxiety and unfamiliarity with the justice system, are common.
A dedicated lawyer can help – contact attorney Lisa Millican Ewing today. Though you have the right to a court-appointed attorney, the assignment of a public defender is difficult unless you can demonstrate significant financial hardship that meets strict court criteria. It is also important to remember that public defenders commonly handle dozens of cases at a time, and yours is not likely to get the personal attention you need. The Ewing Law Office, LLC provides committed, experienced and affordable legal DUI, DWI and drug possession defense.
We can provide legal defense if you choose to fully contest your charges in court. We can also plea bargain and work to arrange a short jail stay scheduled over weekends when necessary. Alcohol and drug treatment programs may be available for first-time and multiple offenders, as are hardship driver's licenses to get you to and from work or school.
We Can Fight Your Drug Possession Charges
We can handle drug possession charges involving methamphetamine (meth), marijuana, and ecstasy as well as prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin (Hydrocodone), Xanax and valium. Drug charge consequences vary greatly depending on the amount of drugs involved, the type of drugs involved, whether the prosecution can prove the intent to sell or distribute the drugs and any criminal history of the accused.
We can defend your case and work to prove that you are innocent of the charges. We can also plea bargain if that would be in your best interests. It may be possible to avoid some penalties by working with a court-sanctioned drug and alcohol education program. Completion of the program and other conditions could lead to the dismissal of charges and a clean criminal record.
