Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

A DUI arrest does not mean a conviction will necessarily occur. Although a serious offense, having the right criminal defense attorney at your side can help you defend your name and move on with your life.

Whether or not this is your first charge for driving drunk or under the influence of drunks, defending against the charges aggressively may allow you to protect your name and driving privileges.

Andrew Beasley uses his extensive experience to fight these serious charges in Nashville, Davidson County and the surrounding counties throughout Middle Tennessee. Andrew Beasley is a member of the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (TACDL) which allows him to attend DUI seminars and keep current on recent changes in the law and the best legal challenges in drunk driving cases.

Fighting to Exclude or Suppress Parts of the Prosecutor's Case

In many cases, the evidence listed in the police reports may not be admissible at trial. Your attorney will fight to exclude or suppress certain evidence including:

• the evidence gained after an improper or illegal stop;
• observations made by the officer during field sobriety testing;
• statements you allegedly made to the officer concerning alcohol or drug consumption;
• evidence that you refused to take a chemical test of your breath, blood or urine; and
• the results of a breath, blood or urine test.

Each piece of evidence excluded by the Court may increase the chances that you will win a motion to dismiss or obtain a "non-guilty verdict" at trial. Even before trial, filing and litigating pre-trial motions remains the best way to force the prosecutor to reduce the charges to a less serious offense such as reckless driving.
