REVIEWS

I was very worried about a situation I was in. I hired the Woodard Law Firm. His knowledge of the law and his aggressive defense helped me out in court. All charges were dropped and my case dismissed.

I thank the Woodard law firm to help me put this behind me and over with. And most of all he is not expensive he is very reasonable and affordable to work with.

I highly recommend The Woodard Law Firm. I was falsely accused of a crime and Dan was able to get my charge dismissed and expunged from my record. He always kept me up to date as my case was going on, and returned my calls and texts quickly. His fees are also very reasonable.
I was looking for a good attorney, and most others were charging nearly twice as much as Dan. I’m so glad I found him — he’s nice, friendly, yet very confident and professional. Highly recommend! Call him if you need a good attorney!

Dan is one of the best, he was great in helping my son here in Blount county. The charges made on my son were false by highway patrol. Dan was able to prove my son's innocence.

Dan Woodard was a huge help with my DUI case. He was already familiar with details of the case at the consultation phase. He explained the trial process and possible outcomes. I found Dan to be a very experienced DUI attorney, savvy in guiding clients through the trial process, and a real advocate for defending clients in the courtroom. Hire Dan Woodard if you need an experienced DUI attorney who is a real professional and who will guide you through the process to the best possible outcome.

MY PRACTICE AREAS

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI)

DUI cases are complex and require a defense attorney who understands both legal and scientific details.


I have specialized training in DUI investigation procedures, including the same methods used by law enforcement. This allows me to closely examine every step of your case.


From the traffic stop to field sobriety tests and breath or blood analysis, I look for errors that can weaken or destroy the prosecution’s case.


Call now so we can start working on your defense!

UNDERAGE DRIVING WHILE IMPARED (DWI)

Many people don't realize Tennessee has created a lesser included offense for those charged with DUI who are under the age of 21.


A skilled attorney can get a DUI lowered to a DWI charge. The greatest benefit of that reduction is that the charge becomes an expungable offense.


This removes the charge from your record after successful completion of any court ordered sentencing such as fines, costs, and community service.


Call me today to find out more!

BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (BUI)

In Tennessee, boating under the influence (BUI) is taken just as seriously as driving under the influence.


Penalties include possible jail time, loss of your ability to operate a watercraft, fines, and court costs.


A BUI can remain on your record, potentially affecting future employment, professional licensing, and other negative outcomes.


You need an attorney who understands the processes officers use to claim impairment, and how to fight those claims.


Call now and let's discuss your defense!

VEHICULAR ASSAULT AND

VEHICULAR HOMICIDE

Getting charged with vehicular assault or homicide, both of which are felonies, is a devastating event.


Both charges involve causing serious bodily injury or death of another due to a driver being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.


Finding an attorney skilled in defending against these charges is especially important because the penalties for both felonies are far more severe than a DUI alone, often involving prison sentences.


Let me help you and ensure your rights are both protected and enforced.

ABOUT ATTORNEY DAN WOODARD

After more than 30 years of military and commercial helicopter flying*, I decided to leave aviation and pursue my true lifelong dream of becoming a criminal defense attorney. I attended Lincoln Memorial University Law School, where I graduated with honors.


After successfully passing the TN Bar, I joined one of East-Tennessee’s most well-known criminal defense firms. For three years, I traveled all around East-Tennessee, and dedicated myself to gaining experience in criminal defense representation while also completing numerous educational courses, specifically in DUI defense and trial representation, all to prepare myself to provide the highest level of criminal defense representation to my clients.


My hard work has paid off, as I was voted by my peers as a City View Top Attorney in 2022, 2024, and 2025!


Call today and let's get started!

DEFENDING YOURSELF SHOULDN'T EMPTY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

Let's face it, nobody plans for a criminal charge.

At one of the most stressful times of your life, you shouldn't have to worry about a huge legal bill, too.

In East-Tennessee, skilled criminal defense attorneys can charge as much as $500 per hour or more .


The fee for a misdemeanor DUI 1st offense from a "billboard" law firm can be as high as $12,500 for General Sessions alone.


I charge a transparent, reasonable flat fee for all DUI and criminal representation.
