MY PRACTICE AREAS
DRIVING/BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI/DWI/BUI)
Few offenses in America’s criminal justice process call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving or boating under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. DUI/DWI/BUI cases are especially complex because they require defense attorneys to understand scientific, as well as legal processes.
Your attorney must also have a working understanding of the operation of breath test equipment, blood draw, storage, and testing procedures, and forensic laboratory testing procedures.
Call now so we can start working on your defense!
CRIMINAL FELONY & MISDEMEANOR
Felony charges carry serious penalties and often mean prison sentences. Having a knowledgeable attorney and strong defense is crucial. I provide comprehensive legal strategies to defend against these potentially life-altering charges.
Misdemeanor charges, while less severe than felonies, can still have significant consequences and far-reaching negative impacts on your life and job.
No matter the charge, I offer dedicated legal representation to ensure your rights are protected and to minimize the impact of these charges on your life.
Call now so we can discuss your defense!
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
An argument or altercation that led to a criminal charge of domestic assault may not have seemed like a big deal to you while it was happening, but the potential criminal penalties for a domestic violence conviction can be extremely serious.
Domestic violence charges can have serious and lasting effects on both your personal and professional life.
I provide compassionate and skilled legal representation to ensure your rights are protected against false accusations or to help you navigate the complexities of the legal system to achieve the best possible outcome.

ORDERS OF PROTECTION
Defending against or arguing for the award of an Order of Protection requires an intensive, thorough examination of individual facts, and a tailored approach.
Whether you're seeking help to ensure protection is granted, or fighting against an unjust order, I can help you.
Let me help you and ensure your rights are both protected and enforced.

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 big legal bill, too.
In East-Tennessee, skilled criminal defense attorneys can charge as much as $500 per hour or more. The typical fee for a misdemeanor DUI 1st offense from a big law firm can be $7,000 to $12,500 for General Sessions alone, and even the lowest felony charges could cost much more!
Because I'm a solo-practitioner, my overhead costs are FAR lower - meaning I can offer a lower fee -- often MUCH lower-- than larger firms. Sure, the furniture is nicer at a "Big Name Law Firm" but I believe you should only be paying for legal service, not fancy chairs and downtown, high-rise views.
I charge a flat fee for all representation in General Sessions or Criminal Court and I think you'll find my billing philosophy is different than "Big Law Firms."
I can also offer affordable payment plans.

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 The Garza Law Firm, one of East-Tennessee’s most well-known criminal defense firms. For three years, I traveled all over 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!
