Understanding What Is At Stake With A DUI Charge

We are committed to keeping you in the communication loop. We will communicate with you and we communicate with the prosecution. We do this because our goal is to, whenever possible, get criminal charges reduced or dismissed.

We understand Tennessee criminal and traffic charges. We also have extensive experience with DUI, drugged driving and related charges. Since DUI is a criminal offense, there is more at stake. Namely, a DUI conviction can affect your:

  • Criminal record. You will also have to spend time in jail. This can also have negative social consequences as a criminal record affects your reputation and standing in a community. A DUI does not go away and cannot be removed from your record.
  • Your ability to get a job or obtain housing. Since DUI is a criminal charge, employers and landlords may see this as a red flag.
  • Your driving privileges. This can make it difficult if not impossible for you to get to your work, to parent your children and to do daily errands and tasks.
  • Your commercial driver’s license. If you drive for a living, you may not be able to get behind the wheel for work after a DUI.
  • Your professional license. If you are a doctor, nurse, pilot, dentist, pharmacist, broker or state employee, a DUI conviction puts your professional license at risk.
  • Your insurance rates. In addition to fines, a DUI will affect your insurance premiums.
  • Your mobility. You will not be able to enter Canada or other countries. Undocumented people face deportation.
