Receive a conviction for DUI in Memphis, TN and get 48 hours in jail!

June 2, 2008

The stakes just got higher for those who are convicted of a DUI in Memphis, or anywhere else in Tennessee. Under a new law that was signed yesterday by Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen all individuals who are convicted of drinking and driving will be required to spend 48 hours in jail.

Under the old law only those who were under 21 years of age were required to stay in jail over 24 hours. However, the new law will effect everyone.

This means that it is more important than ever to retain a lawyer that is experienced in handling dui cases. The difference between having a Memphis dui lawyer and not having one could mean two days in jail and tens of thousands of dollars in increased insurance and limited job prospects
