Understanding DUI Offenses

Franklin Understanding DUI Offenses Lawyer

A DUI can happen to anyone, and chances are you know someone who’s experienced a DUI arrest. In Tennessee, even a first offense DUI conviction carries harsh penalties. That’s why it’s critical to hire a lawyer who doesn’t just take DUI cases, but someone who prioritized DUI representation through yearly education and training. 

DUI Attorney Eric M. Larsen has handled hundreds of DUI cases and with a lot of success. He attended training in Atlanta to become NHTSA certified in Field Sobriety Tests – the same exact training that law enforcement takes. Every year for the last decade he’s attended the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers DUI Conference to remain up to date on the latest changes in the law and to learn knew legal tactics to defend his clients. He is also an active member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association. DUIDLA is a national organization with a focus on learning the science behind blood and breath tests. 

If you’ve been arrested for DUI, don’t just hire a criminal defense lawyer, hire a DUI lawyer. 

A conviction for DUI carries harsh penalties that compound exponentially. In addition to jail time, your license is at stake and for many people, that puts their jobs at stake.
