On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Apr 26, 2017 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
Not having a driver's license can be far more problematic than people realize. Not only can you have trouble getting to work and picking up your kids, you can also be seriously limited in when you can run errands, go to the doctor and meet friends out for dinner. You...
Following DUI, what are your driving limits and options?
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Aug 3, 2016 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
While a DUI conviction may not land a person in jail for year and years, it can most certainly mean he or she has limited driving rights. Even a first-time drunk driving offense can lead to the temporary loss of one's driver's license. "No driving for you" as a...
Driving is one place you want to score low
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Apr 21, 2016 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
Aiming low is not a typical element of Tennessee culture. From the day we enter school, the focus is on scoring high. In nearly any sport (golf excluded) the goal is to get as many points as you can. If you are in business, success isn't gauged by how little money you...

On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Mar 16, 2016 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation

It doesn’t take much to hit 0.02 BAC and spark a teen DWI
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Jan 22, 2016 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation

What is a citation in lieu of arrest?
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Dec 10, 2015 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
It might not sound quite as bad as being arrested, but being presented with a citation in lieu of arrest is something that should be taken seriously. If you have received one, you should be contacting an experienced attorney to understand what to expect from the legal...
TN license revocation can create hard-to-escape debt whirlpool
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Oct 29, 2015 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
There are plenty of situations that can lead to a person having a driver's license revoked. As we noted in a post in January, a first-time charge of driving under the influence can result in steep fines and significant jail time. And then there's the separate process...
License suspension in Tennessee
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Jan 24, 2015 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
An arrest in Tennessee on charges of a DUI can be disorienting, especially if it is your first time in the criminal justice system. A DUI is a criminal offense, and depending on the circumstance and your alleged Blood alcohol Content (BAC), the severity of the...
How to improve Tennessee’s DUI laws
On behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers | Dec 3, 2014 | Driver's License Suspension & Revocation
Some look at Tennessee's DUI laws and believe they need to be more severe. They want the penalties to be more draconian, with larger fines and longer sentences. They look at a case of a repeat DUI charge or conviction and believe that the only reason the system failed...
