Tennessee Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Defense
In today’s climate, the penalties for driving under the influence in Tennessee have never been more severe. A DUI is the only misdemeanor criminal offense for which you cannot receive pretrial diversion and have a conditional guilty plea removed from your permanent record. It is also the rare misdemeanor offense that requires mandatory jail time.
Because of the harsh penalties and social stigma associated with a DUI, I often advise my clients to plead not guilty and fully develop a defense strategy. As an experienced DUI lawyer, I know how to spot winnable DUI issues. If these issues are missed, they cannot be used in your defense. I stay in touch with current developments in the law and science of DUI for this very reason.
I understand that this is probably the most serious accusation you will ever face. I know that your license, your freedom, and perhaps your job are at stake. I am here to help you navigate the confusing and scary world that becomes your reality when you are issued an arrest warrant for DUI in Tennessee.
