Drug Crimes
Charges related to drug offenses, whether for possession, distribution, or trafficking, can bring severe legal consequences, including incarceration, substantial fines, and a lasting criminal record that can affect future employment and educational opportunities. Tennessee's drug laws are strict, and the penalties can escalate quickly based on the type and amount of the substance involved, as well as prior convictions.
At the Law Offices of Amanda Gentry, we craft tailored defense strategies to reduce or dismiss charges, when possible, often challenging the legality of searches, the handling of evidence, and the intent behind the alleged offense. Our goal is to mitigate the impact of drug charges on your life, whether by pursuing a plea bargain, treatment alternatives, or a full defense at trial.

DUI Defense
A DUI charge can have far-reaching effects, threatening your driving privileges, your employment, and your freedom. In Tennessee, DUI offenses carry strict penalties, and even a first offense can lead to fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. Amanda Gentry offers comprehensive DUI defense, addressing every aspect of the case—from the traffic stop and field sobriety tests to the accuracy of breath or blood tests.
We look for potential missteps in the arrest process and work to reduce or dismiss charges where possible, while also pursuing hardship licenses or alternative sentencing options.
