Fighting For My Clients. Defending Their Rights.

DUI Defense: Protecting Your Rights After a DUI Arrest

A DUI arrest can be a stressful and confusing experience. You may be unsure of your rights and facing serious consequences, including license suspension, hefty fines, and even jail time. Here at Chelsea Nicholson Law, our experienced Nashville DUI defense attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and minimizing the impact of a DUI charge.

What to Do After a DUI Arrest

  • Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment. Don’t answer any questions beyond your name and address.
  • Request an Attorney: You have the right to an attorney. Politely request to speak with a lawyer before answering any questions.
  • Gather Evidence: If possible, collect any evidence that might support your case, such as witness statements or dashcam footage.

Our DUI Defense Strategy

Our team will work diligently to build a strong defense for your case. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Chelsea Nicholson Law:

  • Thorough Investigation: We will meticulously examine the details of your arrest, including the police stop, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer results.
  • Challenging the Stop: We will scrutinize the reason for the initial traffic stop. If the stop was unlawful, any evidence obtained might be excluded.
  • Field Sobriety Test Defense: Field sobriety tests are not foolproof. We can identify weaknesses in the administration of the tests and potential reasons for a poor performance unrelated to intoxication.
  • Breathalyzer Defense: Breathalyzer machines can malfunction, and the results can be inaccurate. We can explore factors that might have impacted the accuracy of the test.
  • Negotiation: In many cases, we can negotiate a favorable plea bargain that reduces the charges or minimizes the penalties.

Mitigating the Consequences of a DUI Charge

Even if you are convicted of DUI, we can help you explore options to mitigate the consequences, such as:

  • Driver’s License Reinstatement: We can guide you through the process of getting your driver’s license reinstated.
  • DUI Programs: Completing court-ordered DUI programs can demonstrate your commitment to responsible driving.
