Facing a Felony Drug Charge in Tennessee?
A felony drug charge can carry serious consequences, but the charge itself does not mean the State can prove that you intended to sell, deliver, or distribute drugs.
At Barnes & Fersten, we examine the evidence behind the accusation, including the amount of drugs involved, cash, scales, packaging, phone evidence, statements, and the circumstances of the arrest. The goal is to determine whether the State can actually prove the felony charge it filed.
If you have been charged with drug possession, possession with intent, sale, or delivery in Knoxville or East Tennessee, contact Barnes & Fersten by filling out our contact form or by calling 865-805-5703 to discuss your case and your options.
