Tennessee Underage DUI Defense Lawyer Protecting Rights and Futures
At the Law Office of Edward E. DeWerff, we represent students from Austin Peay State University and college attendees throughout Tennessee facing charges of:
- Drunk driving/DUI
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Minor consumption of alcohol
- Drug charges
- Theft
With approximately 15,000 in attendance at Austin Peay, we often find ourselves meeting with students and their parents regarding a criminal charge. While most face possible misdemeanor convictions, the impact is not reduced when it comes to their record. Background checks by a prospective employer or graduate school that uncover criminal convictions usually result in an application's rejection.
A college student arrested in connection with a crime requires immediate representation. Speaking to the police only damages the case and improves the chances of conviction. As a former county prosecutor, Ed DeWerff, the founder of our firm, is aware not only of a conviction's long-term effects, but also of the procedures and processes used by police officers.
