Nashville DUI and Traffic Violations Lawyer

Whether you are a commercial driver fighting for your very livelihood or an average everyday driver accused of driving unlawfully, the Law Office of Thomas Jefferson Drake has the experience and ability to smooth the rough edges of your case.

If this is your first ticket, you can take advantage of the "defensive driving schools" offerred by the State and County systems. These are described on the back of your ticket. Visit the appropriate Web site:

As the law firm's founding lawyer, I defend and counsel clients throughout Nashville, Tennessee, charged with drunk driving, driving with a suspended or revoked license and other serious charges. I will listen to your objectives in creating a viable legal strategy to protect your driving record. Call me at 615-320-5577 day or night for immediate help in the Nashville area, or contact me.

DWI and DUI Defense

If you have been charged with drunk driving, whether it's a DWI or DUI, you need a vigorous defense against your criminal charge. As your DUI attorney, I will fight to keep a DWI or DUI charge off your record, and to restore your right to drive. While the first few DUI offenses are typically classified as a misdemeanors, a fourth drunk driving violation is a felony in Tennessee and carries harsher fines and possible jail time. My criminal law experience can help make a difference.

Commercial Drivers

If you drive for a living, you can ill afford to lose your license. Did you know that a driving offense carries twice as many DMV points against your record as the same offense for a non-commercial driver? Drunk driving and other serious offenses while passing through Nashville, Tennessee, can further imperil your commercial driver's license. We can help you keep your license and your job. We also represent commercial drivers in hazmat cases involving speeding while hauling hazardous materials.

Solutions to Losing a License

Depending on the number of previous traffic violations on your record and the seriousness of your most recent offense, we may be able to resolve your case by working to shave points off your driving record in order to keep your auto insurance rates at a manageable level.

Because DUI and other serious traffic charges happen around the clock, I am available during evenings and weekends by appointment, call 615-320-5577 for help. Take immediate action in your case, and contact me for a free initial consultation to discuss your defense.
