DUI Defense Lawyers in Livingston, TN
Defending Livingston Drivers – One Case at a Time
From traffic stops on West Main Street to patrols near Standing Stone State Park, Crabtree & Patterson is the go-to defense team for Livingston drivers. We know the courtrooms inside the Overton County Justice Center and exactly how the DA’s office plays their hand.
Types of DUI Cases We Take
There are many circumstances in which we fight DUI charges in Livingston, including:
If Livingston law enforcement stopped you without legal cause, that’s a violation of your rights. We challenge the traffic stop itself and make them justify it.
Breathalyzers are known to give skewed results when improperly maintained or administered. We hammer the chain of custody and calibration records.
These tests are subjective, flawed, and biased from the start. Our DUI attorneys don’t let “walk-and-turn” nonsense convict anyone without a fight.
Certain health conditions can mimic signs of intoxication. We work with medical experts to show how symptoms were misunderstood or ignored.
Recently used mouthwash or dental work can spike readings. Our firm knows how to call that evidence into question and make juries think twice.
If the Overton County officer violated procedure, bullied you into a confession, or skipped required steps, we’ll drag it into the spotlight.
Why Choose Crabtree & Patterson?
We’re not here to play nice—we’re here to protect your future and freedom. With decades of combined courtroom experience, we’ve beaten DUI charges others said were unwinnable. When your case is with our firm, it’s in the best hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
A first-offense DUI in Tennessee can result in 48 hours to 11 months in jail, a license suspension of one year, fines starting at $350, court-ordered alcohol education, and possible ignition interlock installation. It’s more than just a slap on the wrist—it follows you for years.
Beating a DUI in Overton County—or anywhere in Tennessee—starts with exposing weak points: bad stops, faulty tests, sloppy procedures, or medical misunderstandings. With an aggressive legal strategy and the right team, you can challenge every piece of evidence they throw at you.
The best plea depends entirely on the strength of the case against you. If the evidence is weak, we’ll push for dismissal or reduction. If not, we’ll negotiate hard to get you the lightest outcome possible – or go to trial if needed.
In Tennessee, DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is the term used. Some states use DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), but here in Livingston and across Tennessee, it’s all classified under DUI laws—whether alcohol, drugs, or a combination.
Absolutely. We’ve dealt with DUI charges dismissed due to illegal stops, flawed testing, and lack of probable cause. If there’s a weakness in the case, we will find it—and we’ll use it to bury the charge.

Brady Toller – Drug Possession
I am grateful there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree.
There is so much to say I will try and make this short as I can. Seth Crabtree is a man outstanding in his field. My case was not the toughest, but had obstacles to overcome… like 97 miles an hour in a 70 and a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.153%. I never stepped foot in the courtroom. Seth was able to get my DUI charge downgraded to a DISMISSAL and EXPUNGEMENT. Can I get an AMEN?
Seth Is very reasonable on is fees and goes above and beyond his duty. Seth gave my case 100%. I am grateful that there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree. Thank you sir, and your staff.
