DUI Defense

I was pulled over after having a few beers over… multiple hours and arrested for a DUI, even though I performed completely fine on the sobriety test… I denied the breathalyzer so I was also charged with violating Tennessee’s Implied Consent Law. The typical punishment for these combined charges would be 48 hours in jail, up to a $500 fine, one year probation, DUI course, and revocation of my license for one year; however, Mr. Stephenson was able to obtain a plea bargain which dropped the Implied Consent violation and reduced the DUI charge to Reckless Driving with a $250 fine, 6 months probation and ignition interlock device, a DUI course, and no jail time. Not only was I able to keep my license, but this was all done during general sessions so I didn’t have to take my case to trial – which would have extended the process by about a year and cost me much more in court and lawyer fees.
