DRUNK DRIVING
At Atlas Law Firm, we offer intelligent, aggressive, and passionate Driving Under the Influence (DUI) defense. With experience at the district attorney’s office, our lawyers understand how the prosecutors think; providing insight when formulating a case strategy. Having a competent, hungry lawyer who knows how to attack the prosecution’s case is critical to negotiate your case and plead guilty to a lesser offense.
Based in the heart of Nashville, we represent clients in middle Tennessee courthouses.
1
First Offense
A charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can carry severe punishment, even on a first offense. Moreover, penalties can dramatically increase for repeat offenders. For first-time offenders, a sentence can include 48 hours in jail, a $350 fine, completion of alcohol school, 24 hours of litter removal, and loss of driver’s license for one year.
2
Additional Offenses
If convicted or plead a second time, you are looking at a possible 45 days in jail and a 2-year license suspension. In addition to these standard sentences, there are enhancements if you: have a BAC over .20, had a child on board, or caused an accident or injury. A fourth DUI is a felony, with mandatory jail time if convicted and a multi-year-long license suspension.
3
License Suspension
Your license will be suspended whenever you are convicted or plead guilty to DUI. If under the legal drinking age of 21, your license can be suspended for having any alcohol in your system. Additionally, if you refuse a breath or blood test, you can lose your license for up to one year, even if the charges are dropped.
