DRIVING OFFENSE

In Tennessee, convictions for driving offenses always result in fines, sometimes involve penalty points against your license or the revocation and loss of license. The most serious offenses can also put you behind bars.

If you are stopped for a traffic offense, even if you believe it is not serious, your first call should be to an attorney who knows the laws and how to defend you.  James R. Owen will help you understand the charges against you and will fight to defend you and protect your reputation and career.
