DUI defense casework in Tennessee

A DUI case is a story about a few minutes on the side of the road. Pinnacle's private eyes document those minutes from the defense side: where the stop happened, what the cameras saw, and who was actually there.

DUI Defense handled by a licensed private detective agency

Tennessee's DUI penalties are severe and the cases move fast, which means the defense often relies on the officer's account and the dash camera alone. There is usually more. Nearby businesses may have footage of the driving pattern the officer described. Passengers and bartenders can establish what was consumed and when. The stop location itself can matter for the field sobriety test conditions. Pinnacle's private eyes gather these pieces quickly so counsel can challenge the stop, the tests or the timeline with facts.

We also assist on the collateral matters that come with a DUI: locating witnesses for the implied-consent hearing, documenting the roadway and lighting, and verifying the sequence of events from the last drink to the arrest.

When to call a private eye

Situations dui defense casework is built for

If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.

  • A stop based on a driving pattern nobody else saw
  • Field sobriety tests performed on a slope, gravel or in traffic
  • Witnesses at the bar or party who can establish timing and quantity
  • Business or traffic cameras along the route that were never checked
  • A second driver or passenger whose role is disputed
  • A short window before video is overwritten
