A Clarksville Drug Trafficking Defense Attorney and Your Rights Protector
The consequences of a drug trafficking conviction are severe and wide-reaching. The ability to secure employment or enter college are only two of the many challenges you will face. With so much at stake, you need an experienced attorney at your side.
At the Law Office of Edward E. DeWerff, we aggressively protect the rights of our clients facing serious and life-changing criminal charges of drug trafficking. Protection starts with you exercising your right to remain silent. From there, we will be at your side.
You are not required to answer questions from the police regarding a drug trafficking charge. You are not required to offer any explanation. Stay silent before contacting us at 931-266-4089 or 931-266-4091.
Montgomery County Distribution Charges Attorney
Possessing a certain quantity of drugs — more than a half-ounce of marijuana or a half-gram of cocaine — could result in an intent to distribute charge, a felony in Tennessee. The police need to prove that intention to sell or deliver the drugs. Law enforcement officials often file charges of felony trafficking when the crime is actually misdemeanor simple possession.
Benefiting From the Insight of a Former County Prosecutor
In representing you, Ed DeWerff will let you and law enforcement know that possession does not always lead to dealing. A trafficking conviction is not imminent. He will investigate all aspects of the arrest and the events leading up to it. You may be the victim of an illegal search and seizure. Statements of undercover officers or informants are reviewed with attention to detail.
As a former prosecutor for the Montgomery County and Robertson County District Attorney's Office, the founder of our law firm knows that when the prosecution has a strong case, pretrial or post-judicial diversion remains an option to keep a conviction off your record.
