Legal Advice

Q: If I am pulled over for DUI, do I have to submit to a breathalyzer or blood test?

A: Under the Tennessee Implied Consent Act, motor vehicle drivers in the State of Tennessee are required by law to submit to a chemical test (blood, breath, or urine) if an officer suspects an individual of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  A motorist does have a right to refuse to submit to a chemical test in most cases; however, such refusal normally results in the revocation of the person's driver's license and in some instances may result in jail time.  If you have been charged with a DUI and/or violation of the Implied Consent law, consult an attorney to discuss the potential penalties you may face and applicable defenses to your charges.
