Attorney Justin Bell has successfully completed the ARIDE course—Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement—a program focused on how DUI stops are supposed to be conducted. Not many officers get this training, but Justin has. That means he knows when the process was handled right—and when it wasn’t. If probable cause for an arrest was not properly established, that is what we attack to get evidence suppressed and your case dismissed.

It depends on the type of charge and your employer’s policies. For example, a DUI or Assault charge might affect jobs that require driving, security clearance, or working with the public. The Bell Law Firm can help you understand what’s at stake and how to minimize damage to your employment.
Yes. A DUI charge can lead to a license suspension—even before your case goes to trial. We’ll review the details and help you pursue options like a restricted license or challenge the suspension entirely.

Not necessarily. Jail time depends on the facts of the case, your record, and how the charge is classified (misdemeanor vs. felony). In many cases, we can negotiate for reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or dismissal. Every case starts with a deep review of the facts and the officer’s report. However, if we cannot reach a desirable resolution with the prosecutor, we are always prepared to set a case for hearing and then, THE FIGHT IS ON!
The best way to protect your name is with a strong, strategic defense. We work to resolve your case quickly and discreetly—ideally without a conviction on your record. In some cases, we can even seek expungement later on.
Call The Bell Law Firm before talking to anyone else. The first 48 hours are critical. We’ll help you understand the charges, get a copy of the warrant, and avoid saying anything that could be used against you later.
Yes. Tennessee DUI laws allow charges based on impairment, not just blood alcohol content. However, field sobriety tests and officer observations are often flawed. Justin Bell has completed advanced DUI enforcement training and knows how to challenge improper stops and procedures.
