Visit Our Gatlinburg Office
Our Gatlinburg office sits on the Parkway in the heart of downtown, walking distance from the city's busiest enforcement zones — and from the courts that handle most arrests originating in Gatlinburg, Pittman Center, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary. We regularly represent both Sevier County residents and visitors who never expected to need a Tennessee attorney. If you were arrested on a weekend, an after-hours call to our firm is the right first step before you say anything else to law enforcement.

Gatlinburg Legal Questions, Answered
What court will my Gatlinburg case be heard in?
Most misdemeanor arrests in Gatlinburg are first heard in Sevier County General Sessions Court in Sevierville. Felony cases are bound over to the Sevier County Circuit and Criminal Court. We appear in both regularly.
I was arrested in Gatlinburg but I live out of state. Do I need to come back for court?
Often, yes — but for many misdemeanor charges your attorney can appear on your behalf for early settings. Call us as soon as possible so we can request continuances and avoid a failure-to-appear warrant.
How much does a DUI lawyer cost in Gatlinburg?
DUI defense fees vary based on whether your case goes to trial, whether there are aggravating factors (accident, high BAC, prior DUI), and whether an administrative license hearing is needed. We give you a flat-fee quote at your free consultation so there are no surprises.
Do you handle weekend or after-hours arrests in Gatlinburg?
Yes. Call 865-365-1184 anytime. Weekend DUI and public intoxication arrests on the Parkway are common, and the first 48 hours after an arrest are critical for protecting your rights.
Will my Gatlinburg arrest show up on a background check?
An arrest in Tennessee is a public record from the moment you're booked, even before any conviction. If your case is dismissed or you complete diversion, you may be eligible to have it expunged. Ask us about expungement at your consultation.
