Multiple DUI A Team Who Will Tenaciously Defend You Every Step of the Way

Multiple DUI Lawyer Nashville, TN

Seasoned Defense for Second, Third & Subsequent DUIs

The first time you receive a conviction for driving under the influence in Tennessee, you can anticipate harsh penalties, but, as you might expect, the penalties you potentially face increase in severity with any subsequent DUI arrest. Tennessee, like many other states, has its own set of DUI related laws and penalties. Drivers who are first, second, or third-time offenders, or even more, often have their own bracket of penalties.

Therefore, if you have had the unfortunate experience of having authorities place you under arrest for drinking and driving and you received a similar conviction in the past, it is important that you recognize the magnitude of what you now face.

May McKinney has a long record of success in defending clients with previous DUI convictions. Whether this is your second, third, fourth, or subsequent DUI arrest, our experienced team may be able to secure a positive resolution that serves your best interests.

Repeat DUI Penalties in Tennessee

If you have one DUI conviction on your record, the penalties for a second or subsequent conviction will be much more severe. That is why it is imperative to have a knowledgeable DUI defense lawyer protecting your interests.

Second DUI Conviction Tennessee

The consequences to drivers convicted of second DUI offenses are similar to those of first offenses. The biggest difference is that a driver's license may be revoked for up to two years and the basic fines can be up to $2,000 more than for a first DUI. Jail time for a second offense is 45 days.

3rd Offense DUI in Tennessee

People who are arrested for drunk driving in Tennessee that have been convicted of two prior offenses will face far more stringent penalties if convicted again. Some of these penalties include:

Revocation of driving privileges lasting between six and 10 years with no option to receive a restricted driver's license.
Seizure of any motor vehicle owned by the convicted driver by the court.
Required fines as high as $10,000.

In addition, a driver in this situation can be required to spend time in jail lasting just one day short of a full calendar year.

4th DUI in TN

A fourth drunk driving offense is treated as a Class E felony in Tennessee. At least 150 days of a 365-day jail sentence can be required to be served in a consecutive term. Fines at this level can reach $15,000.

What Should Drivers Do if Arrested?

Seeking the help of a Nashville multiple DUI lawyer is recommended after any drunk driving arrest. The need for expert assistance is real regardless of any prior convictions.

We Check the Facts

Thoroughness is one of the keys to success in these challenging cases. At May McKinney, we always check to make sure that prior convictions were valid. In one case, our client was charged with a second-offense DUI. We checked the record and found that our client's first DUI case had been reduced to a non-DUI offense. Uncovering this fact allowed us to get the charges against our client reduced to a first-offense DUI.

We Know the Law

When possible, we may try to mitigate the severity of the penalties for a second or subsequent DUI conviction. Those convicted of a second-offense DUI can reduce the number of days they serve in jail by entering a drug or alcohol treatment program. Such opportunities are not offered; your attorney must know to request them. We have a comprehensive knowledge of Tennessee DUI law and use it to our clients' advantage.

We Defend Our Clients Vigorously

In addition to following the paper trail and seeking opportunities to lessen the penalties, we will mount a strong defense, analyzing the stop, examining videotape, challenging the blood or breath tests, and using all other appropriate avenues of defense.

"I could not be more satisfied with the outcome McKinney Law produced."
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you and your entire team. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome McKinney law produced, especially considering the circumstances. McKinney law helped me navigate and overcome difficulties that I am still astounded by. Even through these stressful times, you were there for me and my family. I will not hesitate to recommend or if ever needed have you represent me again. I will certainly let anyone I know, that you and your team are the best hands down! Thanks again, Rob! Your assistance and representation were completely amazing!

"Best Case Scenario"
If you’re looking for a firm who knows how to handle a DUI/DWI case, give Shyanne a call.

- Satisfied Client
"Stop searching for an attorney. Stop worrying about your legal woes. Stop wondering if your attorney actually cares and start letting Rob McKinney handle your case."
In a nutshell, all of the glowing reviews that I read on this site are 100% spot-on. I had a DWI case reduced to reckless driving. Rob is a fighter and would have battled for a full dismissal if I had requested him to but after some discussion I concluded that accepting the lesser charge was the right move for me. Furthermore, Rob was able to file a motion and get the judge to dismiss my probation obligations once I finished the mandatory classes. It was the best possible result for me. I also need to mention that Karen, the front end of the firm, is spectacular and plays an important part in the firm's success and client experience. She responds to communications promptly and keeps you informed of what's happening as required while Rob and Shyanne stay busy getting the legal work done. Seriously, if you're searching for representation and nervous because you don't know who you can trust and rely on, just stop. I promise you these reviews you've been reading (just like I did before I contacted the firm) are accurate and you can quickly take some of the weight off of your shoulders by having a meeting at May & McKinney and retaining them for your case.

- R.
"Complete Confidence"
Little words cannot express the gratitude we have for you! From the very first day we walked into your office, we had complete confidence in you and your staff.

- Jack & Jessi
"Incredibly helpful"
This was my first experience ever being accused of a crime and I was very nervous and scared. Rob and his staff were incredibly helpful, answering all of my questions and putting my mind at ease throughout the process. In the end, we were able to get everything dismissed successfully. Although in the grand scheme, my case was a relatively minor one, Rob always was there to help and it was clear that his knowledge and experience would be hard to find anywhere else. I would absolutely recommend Rob and his team to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

"The Only Choice for the Best Results"
The case came during my senior year of college. It was the scariest moment of my entire life. I felt my career was over before it even started. I chose McKinney Law Firm because they are the Best of the Best. To have a prepared and knowledgeable defense, in a room where you feel guilty until proven innocent, is invaluable. Roger T. May's no non-sense approach was deliberate and strategic. The results of the case were better than I could have ever imagined. After the case was over, I went on to land a lucrative job, travel the world, and have had a very successful career. I truly believe McKinney Law Firm gave me a second chance at life. I am forever grateful for the team's care, urgency, persistence, and professionalism during a very difficult time. "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." Thank you.
