Protecting Your Rights After a DUI Charge in Middle Tennessee

A DUI arrest can affect your driver’s license, employment, finances, freedom, and reputation. If you are facing a DUI charge in Pulaski, Giles County, or another Middle Tennessee court, Laxson Law provides focused defense from the earliest stages of the case. Robert W. Laxson examines how the traffic stop began, what the officer observed, how field sobriety testing was conducted, and how any breath or blood evidence was obtained and handled.

A DUI Charge Is Not the Same as a Conviction

The State still has the burden of proving its case. A meaningful defense begins with the evidence: body-camera and dash-camera footage, the reason for the stop, field sobriety testing, warrants and blood-draw documentation, laboratory evidence, witness statements, and the officer’s reports. The defense strategy should be based on what the evidence actually shows—not assumptions made at the roadside.

Challenging DUI Evidence

Potential issues can involve the legality of the stop, probable cause, administration of field sobriety tests, statements, blood or breath evidence, warrants, chain of custody, and inconsistencies between reports and video. Not every issue results in suppression or dismissal, but every material issue should be identified and evaluated.

Local Defense When the Stakes Are High

A DUI case moves through a local court system with deadlines and practical consequences. Laxson Law is based in Pulaski and represents clients in Giles County and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities. Clients receive direct explanations of the process, the evidence, and the options available in their individual case.
