Conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in the state of Tennessee is not something to take lightly. Even a first DUI offender can face serious penalties. If this is your second, third, or subsequent conviction, the consequences can ramp up that much more. For example, a second offense DUI in Tennessee carries mandatory minimum jail time of 45 days, extending up to 11 months, 29 days – the maximum sentence allowed for a misdemeanor.

Penalties you could face:
  • The fines associated with a second offense can range between $600 and $3,500.
  • Your license will automatically be revoked and installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) required.
  • Additional penalties such as community service hours and vehicle impoundment may be enforced.
  • Third and subsequent DUI convictions will result in even more drastic punishments.
