1) What is a DUI?
In Tennessee, an individual may not drive or be in control of a vehicle if the blood alcohol content is .08 or more. It takes very little to achieve a blood-alcohol level in violation of law.
2) Should I take the breath test?
If you have had no alcohol, the test will prove you have not exceeded the state limits. If you question how much alcohol you have consumed, the breath test may prove disappointing for you. Because of the accuracy of the machines, they are presumed to be accurate and .08 blood alcohol level will get you arrested. You may choose not to blow. Understand that failing to take the breath test as requested by an officer with probable cause, may suspend your license for a period of one year.
3) Can I get a restricted license?
A restricted license is available to first offenders ONLY. If you have a DUI conviction on your record and plead to a second first-offense DUI, you are not eligible for a restricted license during your year of probation but the 2nd year of suspension is eligible for a restricted license. Failure to take the breathalyzer test may suspend your license for one year but one is eligible for a restricted license. Third and subsequent DUI convictions are not eligible for a restricted license of any kind.
4) What are DUI penalties?
1st Offense: 11/29 in jail, suspended, all but 48 hours (24 hours jail/24 hours trash pick-up), 11 months/29 days probation, $350.00 fine, alcohol safety school, various other probation responsibilities, loss of license for one year and court costs.
2nd Offense: 11/29 in jail, suspended, all but 45 days, day-for-day (maybe eligible for work release), 11 months/29 days probation, $600.00 fine, alcohol safety school with extensive probation officer responsibilities, loss of license for two years and court costs.
3rd Offense: 11/29 in jail, suspended, all but 120 days (no work release), 11 months/29 days probation, $1100.00 fine, alcohol safety school, extensive probation responsibilities, loss of license for three years and court costs.
4th Offense: AN “E” FELONY WITH ANTICIPATED JAIL TIME.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I was charged with a 3rd offense DUI in 2007 and contacted Robert Vaughn. What an attorney! He defended me with great determination and accuracy. I recommend anyone in this situation to contact his office. My 3rd offense charge ended up a reckless driving and I am deeply grateful for his skill in defending my case." A.B – Nashville, TN
"I had gotten myself into real trouble, my drinking was over the top and I needed HELP, legal and treatment for my addiction. Robert Vaughn was recommended by a friend. The first thing that made me feel that there was a glimmer of hope was his willingness to talk to me and assess the problems. The next thing was his advice on treatment and his ability to talk with the DA and arrive at a course of action which would help me initially and in the future. I am grateful that Robert Vaughn helped me, his actions have likely saved my LIFE. Great Attorney-Great Man Sincerely" B.B – Hendersonville, TN
“Robert Vaughn cares very much about his clients and doing the very best job that he can for them. He is very knowledgeable about the court system…if it wasn’t for him, my father would’ve been in prison. I was also very pleased with his help for me on two DUI’s. I have confidence and great respect for him…he definitely goes beyond the call of duty. He eased my mind from the fear that I had for my father’s case and my cases and I knew that I could depend on him.” V.S – Nashville, Tennessee
