Drug Free School Zone Act Violations A Team Who Will Tenaciously Defend You Every Step of the Way

Tennessee Drug-Free School Zone Act Violations

Possession of Drugs on School Grounds

At May McKinney, we are experienced in defending clients charged under Tennessee's Drug-Free School Zone Act. This act enhances the penalties for felony drug crimes committed within 1,000 feet of a school, daycare facility, or park.

For example, if you were arrested for possession of a half-ounce of marijuana, you could expect to pay a fine and serve a year of probation. If you were convicted of the very same offense in a drug-free school zone, however, you might serve two years in jail without an option of parole.

If you are facing charges of this kind, call our Nashville drug crime attorneys at (615) 265-6383. We can analyze your case and determine how to best defend your interests.

School Zone Drug Offenses Are Aggressively Prosecuted in TN

District attorneys are extremely aggressive in using the Drug-Free School Zone Act to prosecute anyone allegedly selling, possessing, or transporting drugs near a school. If you were arrested while driving, they will plot the route you traveled on a map. If you happened to drive through a drug-free school zone, they will seek enhanced charges. In some instances, they will follow your vehicle and wait until you have driven through such a zone before pulling you over to make the arrest.

Our attorneys take on cases in Nashville and across Brentwood, Mount Juliet, Franklin, and the surrounding areas involving:

"Do not give up hope"
Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Rob McKinney and his entire law firm. This was my first experience with needing legal representation. After speaking with other attorneys, I was told that there was not much they could be do for me. I was fully aware that the odds were stacked against me and I was losing hope. Mr. McKinney told me that he would fight for me and that is exactly what he did. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend this firm

It was a mandatory 30 days in jail to basically nothing but fines. Well worth every penny. If you need a lawyer call this guy immediately. He'll do everything he can with a smile to give you the best results possible. Thank God for Rob Mckinney!!!
