Drug Crimes

Drug crimes are one of the most common criminal charges defendants face in Tennessee. People from all backgrounds, socioeconomic levels, and ages can find themselves facing drug possession charges. Our firm has successfully handled cases involving cocaine, designer drugs, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine. We also represent clients arrested for possession of unauthorized prescriptions, such as Adderall, OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax, and more.

If you have been charged with drug distribution or trafficking, we will work diligently to uncover evidence that reveals flaws in the prosecution's case against you. At Jeffrey Coller, Knoxville Criminal Defense Attorney, we understand that in many drug offense cases, there may be substance abuse issues that indicate that a diversion or treatment program is the more appropriate outcome over jail or prison. We know how to make the case that our clients deserve compassion and help rather than harsh punishments.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence laws in Tennessee are harsh. When a person is charged with domestic violence, the court almost always issues a no-contact or protective order prohibiting the accused from contacting the accuser. If the parties live together, this order can potentially bar the defendant from entering his or her home or seeing his or her children. Violating a protective order can result in additional criminal charges.

The criminal defense lawyers at Jeffrey Coller, Knoxville Criminal Defense Attorney understand that there are often two sides to every story and that emotions can turn a simple argument into much more. Throughout this process, we will ensure that your rights are protected and the court hears your side of the story. Our attorneys also have significant experience in domestic violence cases that involve false accusations, especially when there is a divorce or child custody dispute involved.

Property Crimes

Property crimes include motor vehicle theft, robbery, burglary, vandalism, and arson. Depending on the value of the property involved, being charged with a property crime can ultimately result in a jail sentence. Under Tennessee law, if the value of the property involved was under $1,000, the charge is a Class A misdemeanor, and a conviction can result in up to 12 months in jail and up to $2,500 in fines. Property crimes involving items that are worth more than $1,000 are charged as felonies. The charges range from Class E felonies, which carry one to six years in prison and a fine of up to $3,000, to Class A felonies, which carry a prison sentence of 15 to 60 years if convicted.

Our criminal defense law firm has extensive experience successfully defending people who have been charged with all classifications of property crimes. We have won many dismissals, not-guilty verdicts, and plea bargains.

Juvenile Crimes

When a minor is charged with a crime, it can be extremely stressful for the entire family. Furthermore, a juvenile conviction can have an impact on the minor's future. Having a criminal defense attorney in the Seymour area who has a solid understanding of how the Tennessee juvenile justice system works and the differences between that system and the adult legal system can make an enormous difference in a child's future.
