→ The Absolute Truth: We will never sugarcoat the reality of your situation or the charges you are facing.

We’ve been nominated. 🏆
Our very own Nate Ogle is up for Cityview Magazine’s Best of the Best — DUI Defense Attorney.
A DUI charge is not a conviction. It’s an accusation the State still has to prove — the stop, the field sobriety tests, the machine, the officer’s paperwork. All of it. That’s the work, and we do it case by case.
If we’ve stood beside you or someone you love, we’d be honored to have your vote.

By late summer, boredom officially sets in, and good kids can make impulsive mistakes they otherwise wouldn't. Whether it involves:

→ Underage drinking

→ Trespassing at the local pool

→ Property damage

These late-summer decisions can have a severe impact on your child's life, future college applications, and ability to accomplish their goals. Unfortunately, prosecutors are not quick to just look the other way.

At Burks & Ogle, we fight to protect your child's permanent record so that a single mistake does not dictate their future.

We are available 24/7 to step in and help. Call us today at (865) 522- 4964. 📲

The most valuable thing your defense attorney can give you is certainty about what happens next. You need a team that knows exactly what to expect when you step into the courtroom.

Because of our extensive courtroom experience, we can tell you exactly what the prosecution will try to do, and exactly how we will fight back to present your side of the story.

→ We challenge the state: We aggressively audit the evidence and dismantle the DA's narrative.

→ We eliminate the guesswork: We walk you through every step so you are never caught off guard by the judge or the prosecution.

→ We are always on call: Legal emergencies do not wait for business hours. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Do not walk into an East Tennessee courtroom blind. Let an experienced legal team handle the fight for you. Schedule your free consultation today and call us at 865-522-4964. 📲

Last week, after nearly two years of work, we had the privilege of finalizing an adoption in Anderson County for two young girls and the family who fought just as hard to bring them home.

Moments like this are why we do this work. Congratulations to this beautiful family; we are so honored to have been part of your story. 💙

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:

→ We protect your rights: We ensure your right to remain silent is upheld and challenge any police overreach.

→ We dismantle their case: We aggressively review the traffic stop, checkpoint procedures, and testing methods for constitutional flaws.

→ 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.

A minor summer traffic stop on I-40 or I-75 does not give police the automatic right to search your vehicle.

During the summer travel rush, law enforcement heavily patrols Knoxville interstates, using minor infractions like a lane violation as an excuse to pull drivers over.

But a routine traffic stop does not give officers a free pass to bring out K-9 units or search your car. If a highway stop led to serious drug or weapons charges, the state does not automatically have an open-and-shut case.

At Burks & Ogle, we meticulously audit the evidence to hold law enforcement accountable:

→ We review dashcam footage: We check the exact timing to see if officers illegally prolonged the stop just to wait for a drug dog.

→ We challenge the search: We dissect the officer's "probable cause" to determine if they overstepped your constitutional rights.

→ We fight to suppress evidence: If the police broke the rules, we push to get the evidence thrown out and your charges dismissed.

Do not let a single traffic stop define your future. Call Burks & Ogle today at 865-522-4964.

A fun summer afternoon in Knoxville shouldn't end at the Knox County Jail.

Between concerts, festivals, and games, local police are out in force. It doesn’t take much for a simple misunderstanding or an overzealous officer to turn a great day into a sudden arrest for Public Intoxication or Disorderly Conduct.

If a weekend outing goes sideways, don't argue on the scene. Let our defense team handle the fight:

→ We pull the evidence: We hunt down venue surveillance, cell phone videos, and witness statements.

→ We challenge the report: We expose inconsistencies or exaggerations in the police narrative.

→ We protect your career: We fight aggressively to keep a single mistake off your permanent record.

We are available 24/7 because legal emergencies don't wait for business hours. Call Burks & Ogle at 865-522-4964. 📲

Relying on "we will figure it out" for your summer custody schedule is a massive risk. Here is why you need a legally enforceable plan before the summer starts:

→ Texts aren't enforceable: If the other parent suddenly changes their mind, an informal text won't protect your parenting time.

→ Courts are fully booked: You cannot get a last-minute hearing right before your trip to fix a schedule dispute.

→ Your time matters: You deserve to spend your summer making memories, not fighting over drop-offs.

At Burks & Ogle, our family law team will review your situation and make sure your parenting plan is officially locked in and legally protected. Call us today at 865-522-4964.
