Choosing the Right Clarksville Drug Lawyer for You
J. Runyon understands how to find weaknesses in the evidence gathered by the police and even in how they gathered it, correctly or incorrectly. Raising these kinds of Constitutional challenges can often lead to lesser charges with more appropriate punishment or even to the dismissal of the case in its entirety.
For more than a quarter of a century, "J." Runyon has been involved in the criminal justice system: 12 years as a police officer and the last 20 as a Clarksville criminal defense attorney. As a police officer from 1985 to 1997, J. Runyon moved from patrol to detective to police Sergeant to serving as the Sergeant over the Vice-Narcotics unit of the Special Operations Division of the Clarksville Police Department.
