    Frequently Asked Questions

    What happens after a DUI arrest in Tennessee?

    After arrest, you typically have a limited time to request a hearing regarding your driver's license. It's crucial to contact an attorney immediately to protect your driving privileges.

    What are the penalties for a first DUI in Tennessee?

    Penalties can include jail time, fines, license suspension, and mandatory alcohol treatment programs. The specifics depend on your blood alcohol level and circumstances of the arrest.

    Can I refuse a breathalyzer test?

    Tennessee has implied consent laws. Refusing a test can result in automatic license suspension. However, every situation is different, and we can discuss the implications during your consultation.

    Will a DUI affect my job?

    A DUI conviction can impact employment, especially for commercial drivers or those in certain professions. We work to minimize these consequences.

    Is it worth fighting a speeding ticket?

    Yes, especially if points on your license could lead to suspension or insurance rate increases. We can often negotiate reduced charges or dismissal.

    What makes your firm different for DUI defense?

    Both attorneys are members of the National College for DUI Defense, the premier organization for DUI defense attorneys. This specialized training means better defense strategies for our clients.
