As East Tennessee gears up for a massive Fourth of July weekend, local law enforcement is out in full force. Between highway checkpoints and heavy patrols near the lake and downtown, police are aggressively looking for any reason to pull drivers over.
If you get stopped, human nature might make you want to explain yourself, but trying to talk your way out of a DUI investigation is the biggest mistake you can make. The smartest move is to respectfully decline to answer their questions, avoid handing the prosecution free evidence, and let an experienced attorney do the talking for you.
If your holiday weekend ends in handcuffs, Burks & Ogle is ready to step in:
โ We protect your rights: We ensure your right to remain silent is upheld and challenge any police overreach.
โ We dismantle their case: We aggressively review the traffic stop, checkpoint procedures, and testing methods for constitutional flaws.
โ We are always on call: Holiday or not, our team is available to jump into action immediately.
Legal emergencies do not take a long weekend. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
