Enhanced DUI Cases
If you caused injury while driving drunk, you may face more serious criminal charges, such as reckless driving or vehicular manslaughter. The penalties for charges such as these almost always include jail time or significant supervised probation. Our criminal defense lawyers will handle these matters as well as defending you against DUI charges.
Your Driver's License
Our Franklin lawyers will help you get your license back or apply for a restricted license. This is an administrative process separate from the criminal charge of DUI. Having an attorney who can handle both aspects of your case streamlines the process.
