Sevier County Drug Crime Attorney
Facing drug charges can be a pivotal moment in the lives of most people. Failing to respond proactively in defense of your rights is very likely to be a most costly mistake. You need to take steps to defend yourself against the charges you are facing. The first step after you have been arrested needs to be securing the representation of a skilled criminal defense attorney.
At The Law Office of Melissa Moore, PLLC, our Sevierville drug defense attorney is dedicated to providing our clients with the exceptional criminal defense that their cases call for. We have been practicing in Sevier County since 2000. Our familiarity with the local courts can be a real asset when your case may hinge on how a local prosecutor decides to proceed with your case.
Some of the more common drugs that are the basis for charges in our area include:
- Prescription painkillers (Oxycodone, OxyContin)
- Xanax
- Cocaine
- Marijuana
During arrests for other crimes such as robbery or burglary, the police may find marijuana or some other drug leading to the filing of drug possession charges as well.
Diversion Programs
For those who do not have a significant criminal history, diversion programs can help you secure a dismissal of the charges. If the court finds you are a good candidate for rehabilitation, you can enter diversion. You will be placed on probation. Successfully completing the terms of your probation will result in the dismissal of your charges.
Community Correction
This program is similar to diversion. The goal of this program is not the dismissal of the charges, but rather, the avoidance of jail. Community Correction provides a more supervised setting for individuals to work toward their goals.
