TENNESSEE DUI ATTORNEY PROTECTING DRIVERS’ RIGHTS

DEFENDING NASHVILLE-AREA CLIENTS AGAINST CRIMINAL PROSECUTION

In Tennessee, law enforcement is intensifying efforts to crack down on drunk driving offenses. A DUI conviction can lead to severe consequences such as license suspension, increased insurance rates, hefty fines, and imprisonment. William J. Conway possesses the expertise to challenge the evidence against you and strives to secure the best possible outcome for your case.


ADVOCATE DEDICATED TO CHALLENGING DRUNK DRIVING CHARGES

I recognize that good people can make mistakes. My goal is to meet my clients’ emotional, financial, and legal needs by fervently representing their interests at every stage. With in-depth knowledge of Tennessee’s intricate DUI laws, I scrutinize every aspect of your case—from the initial traffic stop to breathalyzer tests—to construct a robust defense. I understand what the prosecution requires for a conviction and skillfully contest the evidence against you, utilizing my extensive real-world experience. My commitment is to ensure you receive the respect and results you deserve.

ADVICE FOR WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE STOPPED

If you are pulled over by the police, here are several ways to protect yourself:


  • Stay calm and polite: Nervousness can be misinterpreted by police officers as a sign of intoxication. Maintain your composure and be respectful to avoid raising suspicions.
  • Keep your glove box organized: An organized glove box allows you to quickly and calmly present your registration and insurance without fumbling, which can be misconstrued as a sign of impairment.
  • Refuse vehicle searches without a warrant: Do not consent to a search of your car. Any evidence found can be used to support a DUI conviction.
  • Do not perform field sobriety tests: Field sobriety tests are voluntary, not mandatory. You may still be arrested if you refuse to perform the tests. However, under TN law, you can pass the field sobriety tests and still be arrested for DUI. Additionally, field sobriety tests can be difficult to perform especially with heightened nerves associated with being pulled over.
  • Do not consent to a blood or breath sample: Under the implied consent law, refusing to provide a sample can result in license suspension. However, it will be much more difficult for the State to convict you if they do not have any evidence to use against you. 
  • Contact a DUI attorney immediately: The sooner you seek legal assistance, the better your chances of a favorable outcome.
