First Offense DUI in Murfreesboro, TN
Even a first DUI conviction carries mandatory jail time, license suspension, and fines in Tennessee. We fight to protect first-time offenders from the harshest consequences.
What You're Facing
A first-offense DUI in Tennessee (T.C.A. § 55-10-401) carries: 48 hours to 11 months 29 days in jail (mandatory minimum applies), fines of $350–$1,500, one-year license revocation, mandatory DUI school, possible ignition interlock requirement, and a permanent criminal record. The impact on your job, insurance rates, and reputation can last years beyond the legal penalties.
How We Build Your Defense
- Challenging the traffic stop — if the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to pull you over, all evidence gathered afterward may be suppressed
- Field sobriety test validity — as a former police officer, Quinn knows exactly how FSTs must be administered; errors by the officer can invalidate results
- Breathalyzer calibration and maintenance — Tennessee requires strict maintenance logs for breath testing devices; we subpoena these records
- Blood test chain of custody — if blood was drawn, we scrutinize who handled the sample, storage conditions, and lab procedures
- Rising BAC defense — if you were under the legal limit while driving but tested over the limit later, timing matters
Why a Former Prosecutor Makes a Difference
Before founding Quinn Rodriguez Law PLLC, Quinn Rodriguez served as a police officer and as an Assistant District Attorney in the 16th Judicial District. He has sat on both sides of these cases — he knows the arguments prosecutors make, the evidence they rely on, and the weaknesses they try to hide. For first offense dui cases, that insider knowledge translates into more effective challenges, smarter negotiations, and stronger results for clients throughout Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
