Tennessee has one of the biggest drug seizure points in the United States. There is a large checkpoint on I-40, at which people are pulled over and their cars are impounded. We can work to reclaim your car. We can investigate the arrest to determine if the police had probable cause to pull over the vehicle and file a motion to suppress, if appropriate.

The earlier you get the protection of an experienced attorney, the better. As soon as you ask to speak with a lawyer, the police must, by law, stop asking questions. Attorney Jeffrey Jones can protect your rights, analyze your case, and immediately begin working on keeping you out of jail or minimizing your punishment.
If you have been charged with one of the more minor drug crimes, it is possible that you will not have to spend a day in jail. In recent years, Tennessee has become more enlightened as to the need to provide drug treatment instead of prison.
