Tennessee Drug Possession and Trafficking Defense

With more than 100 years of combined trial experience, we dedicate our professional lives to the fight for justice and to protect the quality of life for you and your loved ones, through highly personalized service and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

At Hollins, Raybin & Weissman, P.C. our experienced criminal defense attorneys provide highly personalized client service in defense against serious state and federal drug charges. Each of our members who represents defendants in drug possession or distribution cases is an AV-rated* lawyer, and among them they average more than 30 years of practical legal experience. Contact us in Nashville for specific information and advice about your legal options in any case involving illegal drugs.

The attorneys at our firm represent clients in the Tennessee Criminal Courts and all U.S. District Courts who are charged with the possession, distribution, or conspiracy to transport or sell such drugs and controlled substances as the following:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Heroin
• Unauthorized prescription drugs

Not only do we develop and present your defense in the criminal case against you, we also can handle your case in any civil forfeiture proceedings related to the confiscation of cash, motor vehicles, or other property alleged to have been used in the commission of the offense, or to represent the proceeds of unlawful drug trafficking.

We also represent clients accused of such lesser drug crimes as marijuana cultivation or prescription fraud in cases where an otherwise favorable plea agreement could cause problems with a professional license. In many fields, conviction of a drug crime, even where no jail or prison time is involved, can lead to disciplinary action against your license to teach, practice law, sell real estate or insurance, or work in any health care field. Our representation of licensed professionals always takes into account our clients' broader occupational interests, and whenever necessary we can represent you before your licensing board as well as in the state or federal court where your criminal case is pending.

Additionally, our criminal defense lawyers represent Middle Tennessee college and university students whose legal problems related to drug possession can expose them not only to criminal punishment, but also to disciplinary sanctions at school and future barriers to professional employment. We represent students at such institutions as the following:

• Aquinas
• Austin Peay
• Belmont
• Cumberland
• Fisk
• Lipscomb
• Middle Tennessee State
• Tennessee State
• Tennessee Tech
• Vanderbilt
