Aggressive Defense for Tennessee DUI Charges

A DUI conviction in Tennessee carries mandatory jail time, heavy fines, license suspension, and long-lasting damage to employment and family life. Attorney Scott Lanzon has defended hundreds of clients against drunk driving and drugged driving accusations. We meticulously scrutinize:

• The legal basis and reasonable suspicion for the initial traffic stop
• Officer compliance with field sobriety testing protocols
• Calibration, maintenance records, and operator certification for breathalyzers
• Chain of custody and lab handling for blood alcohol testing

State and Federal Drug Crime Defense

Tennessee prosecutors aggressively pursue narcotics offenses, from simple possession of controlled substances to major felony distribution, trafficking, and conspiracy charges. Drawing on extensive prosecutorial experience handling complex narcotics cases, attorney Lanzon attacks illegal search warrants, unlawful vehicle searches, and Fourth Amendment violations to suppress evidence and achieve case dismissals or favorable diversion agreements.

Violent Crimes and Domestic Assault Allegations

Allegations involving aggravated assault, domestic violence, manslaughter, homicide, or weapons offenses demand an exhaustive, proactive defense. We conduct rigorous independent investigations, interview witnesses, analyze forensic evidence, and construct compelling self-defense arguments to present before Knox County juries.

Sensitive Sex Crimes and White Collar Offenses

Charges involving sexual offenses or complex financial crimes can ruin reputations before a verdict is ever reached. Our firm provides discreet, compassionate, and uncompromising representation, challenging questionable forensic evaluations, uncorroborated testimony, and prosecutorial overreach in state and federal courts.

Strategic Negotiation and Tough Courtroom Advocacy

While we pursue constructive negotiated resolutions whenever in our clients' best interests, The Lanzon Firm is renowned for its readiness to take cases to trial. This proven courtroom willingness gives our clients tremendous leverage during pre-trial negotiations. We guide clients through every critical juncture:

• Bond hearings and initial appearances in Knox County courts
• Preliminary hearings and grand jury proceedings
• Aggressive pre-trial motion practice and evidentiary hearings
• Jury trials in state and federal district courts
• Post-conviction relief, probation violation hearings, and record expungement
