Let’s talk numbers. In Tennessee, it’s illegal to drive at .08% BAC or higher— no matter what you’re driving (yes, that means boats too!).

We often get asked how many drinks before your BAC is above .08%. The short answer is— there isn’t a fixed “number of drinks” that equals .08. It depends on body weight, how fast you’re drinking, food, meds, and more. But rough estimates are between 2- 4 drinks.

The bottom line, if you’re drinking don’t drive.

If you’re seeing this post too late. Let’s talk.

Don’t let one margarita turn into a lifetime mistake.

Spring weather means more patios, more events, and unfortunately a trend of DUI spikes across East Tennessee.

Do you know your rights during a traffic stop? If you get arrested, avoid these massive mistakes:
1️⃣Do not talk to the police without a lawyer.
2️⃣Do not post about your arrest on social media.
3️⃣Do not miss your license suspension hearing.
4️⃣Do not wait to hire an attorney.

Your freedom and your future are on the line.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. We see it all the time where someone thinks they are fine to drive just because they only had a couple of drinks...but buzzed driving is still a DUI in Tennessee.

What actually happens the night you get a DUI?
👉You will be arrested, your car will be towed, you will be taken to jail for booking, and your license will be confiscated.

If you find yourself in this situation, do not answer police questions without your attorney present. When your future is on the line, Matt Ooten is the attorney you want in your corner. 💼

Today is "4/20" and we need to clear up some major confusion about cannabis laws in Tennessee. It is NOT legal here.

Simple possession is a Class A misdemeanor that can land you in jail for up to a year. What about THCA sold in stores? THCA laws have recently changed and can be confusing—some products may now be restricted depending on how they are classified.

Furthermore, even if you bought a product legally, driving under the influence of any THC product will still result in a DUI charge. If you get pulled over with w**d or face a drug related DUI, exercise your right to remain silent and call us.

Let’s break down some common misconceptions about DUI charges in Tennessee.

Can you refuse a breathalyzer?
👉Yes, but it comes with potential costs. Under Tennessee’s implied consent law, refusing a blood or breath test for the first time can result in license suspension.

Will a DUI ruin your life?
👉It does not have to.

Do you always go to jail?
👉Tennessee does have mandatory minimum jail time for DUI, but an experienced attorney can fight to minimize the impact on your life and keep your record as clean as possible.

Arrested for refusing to take a BAC test? Don’t face the justice system alone. Call us at 865-259-0999.
