When they get it wrong, we’re the first ones to call it out—and shut it down.
Types of DUI Cases We Take
We’ve handled many types of circumstances in Sparta DUI cases, including:
White County cops need a legitimate reason to pull you over. If they didn’t have one, we’ll use that to challenge the entire stop—and everything that followed.
Breathalyzers can be wildly inaccurate if not calibrated or administered properly. We dig into the records and tech to tear down their so-called “evidence.”
These tests are subjective, flawed, and heavily biased. A wobbly step doesn’t equal guilt, and we know how to shred the officer’s interpretation.
Certain health issues can mimic signs of intoxication. If a medical condition was mistaken for impairment, we’ll make sure that gets exposed in court.
Residual alcohol from mouthwash or recent drinking can spike your BAC reading. That test may not reflect your actual impairment, and we’ll prove it.
When Sparta officers bend the rules, we make sure it comes back to haunt them. From unlawful stops to aggressive tactics, we bring their mistakes front and center.

Frequently Asked Questions
A DUI accusation kicks off a fast-moving chain of events. You may face immediate license suspension, a mandatory court appearance, and possible jail time—even on a first offense.
Still, accusations aren’t convictions. With the right defense, many of these penalties can be reduced or dismissed entirely.
In Tennessee, you can be charged with DUI if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher—or if an officer claims your ability to drive was impaired. That includes alcohol, drugs, or even prescribed medication. DUI laws in this state hit hard, but they’re not unbeatable.
We pick apart the prosecution’s evidence, question the legality of your stop, and challenge every step the officer took. We don’t back down. If there’s a flaw in their case, we’ll find it—and use it to defend your freedom.
Don’t plead guilty and contact our firm immediately. We’ll gather evidence, bring in expert testimony if needed, and fight to clear your name.
Innocent people get accused more often than you might think. We’re here to make sure you’re not punished for it.
Yes – when the evidence doesn’t hold up or your rights were violated, we can push for full dismissal. Every case is different, but we’ve helped countless clients walk away with their record and reputation intact.

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?
