DUI (or Driving Under the Influence Charges) can sometimes deal a frightening blow to a person charged with such an offense. Many individuals charged with DUI have never been charged previously with a crime making this very unfamiliar territory to navigate for them and their families. Our  Memphis Criminal DUI Attorneys have hand handled numerous DUI cases and are familiar with the laws that apply to these cases. Most DUI first offenses in Tennessee carry a minimum of 48 hours incarceration, plus mandatory fines and other driving requirements such as a restricted driving license if convicted of this offense. If there is an accident involved, or if the level of alcohol content in the defendant's blood is a certain level (for example over .20), the offense potentially carries a higher level of punishment and incarceration. In addition, if the offense is a second offense or more, the punishment can increase from 45 days to even one year or more, depending on the nature of the conviction and the age of the prior DUI as well as several other factors.
