Knowledgeable Nashville DUI Attorney

If you have been stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs then you should contact a Tennessee DUI defense lawyer immediately. At Phillips Law, PLLC we provide aggressive legal representation to individuals accused of DUI (driving under the influence) in both Tennessee and Kentucky. We understand how confusing this time may be for both you and your family, especially if you have never had any prior run-ins with the law.

In the states of Tennessee and Kentucky, DUI can be charged when a person has a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. In addition, DUI may be charged when a person fails a breath test, field sobriety test or if law enforcement has enough suspicion that a person is under the influence to make an arrest. Once an arrest is made, a person will then have their driver’s license confiscated and will be expected to attend a DMV Hearing (Department of Motor Vehicles Hearing) within 10 days, which is separate from the criminal court process.
