Dickson DUI & Criminal Defense Lawyers
Fighting For You Like You Deserve
If you are arrested in Dickson, Tennessee or under criminal investigation, getting the right defense team fighting for you is one of the most important decision you can make. If you are facing accusations of assault, domestic violence, murder or homicide, DUI, drug charges or sexual abuse, you probably feel overwhelmed, isolated, and as though the system is working against you. At Waynick Law, we understand how intimidating it can be to go up against aggressive police and government prosecutors.
Our founder, Rodger Waynick, established Waynick Law after he was wrongfully charged by an overzealous and unethical detective. Determined to make an arrest, the detective ignored the facts and decided to "let the courts figure it out." Rodger then hired an attorney who was more worried about getting paid than fighting for his client.
Refusing to be railroaded by an unethical and lazy lawyer, Rodger took on his own case and ultimately cleared his name of all charges. That experience lit a fire inside of him to create a criminal defense firm that does things differently than most law firms. Rodger founded Waynick Law to provide the kind of representation every person deserves—representation grounded in respect, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to protecting our clients. We treat people how we wanted to be treated and work your case how we wanted ours to be worked.
Our team treats every client with the same care and dedication Rodger wanted in his own case. "We approach every case as if our own rights and future were on the line"—because your rights are the same rights we have.

"When I represent a client in a criminal defense case,
I truly believe that I am representing the Constitution, the rights of the individuals,
and the rights of the community." ~ Rodger Waynick
Practice Areas
If you are facing felony or misdemeanor charges in Dickson, Waynick Law is here for you. Our goal is to minimize the impact of the charges on your life.

If you are being investigated or charged with these crimes or others, reach out to Waynick Law:
DUI defense
While driving under the influence is one of the more common charges people may face, the consequences can be severe. You need someone prepared to challenge the evidence, including the tests performed on you at the time of the arrest.
Drug charges
From drug possession to distribution, our team is here to fight back.
Possession of marijuana
You might think that these charges are minor and won’t impact your life much; however, even with the changes to existing laws, Tennessee still prohibits possession of marijuana. While you might have the chance to enter a diversion program or other alternative sentence, it is important for your future that you fight back against these charges.
Methamphetamine charges
We may challenge the search warrants, arrest procedures and more when defending you against meth charges.
Cocaine charges
We can look into the procedures involved in your cocaine arrest, the evidence and how it was handled, and more when it comes to fighting against these claims.
Assault
There are different categories of assault: simple assault, aggravated assault, and domestic assault. Each charge has different implications. Whatever they’ve accused you of, our goal is to dismantle the case against you.
Domestic assault
When assault charges involve members of a family, they lead to sensitive cases. There are implications for parents, who may face difficulties with custody and visitation if they are accused of domestic assault. Our team understands the gravity of such allegations and the “he said, she said” nature of these charges.
Weapons charges
We understand state and federal gun laws and are ready to fight to protect your rights if you are facing weapons-related charges for possession, trafficking, and more.
Murder/homicide
Facing murder or homicide charges is a serious matter and one that requires aggressive representation to fight back. When there is so much at stake, you need someone who understands the gravity of the situation and isn’t afraid to go to battle for you.
Tips if you’re arrested in Dickson
Whether you’ve been arrested before or not, the law has provisions meant to protect you. It’s in the Constitution, so those rights are not negotiable. The law offers protections if you’re arrested, but you need to know how to use them. One of the most important things to remember is to remain silent. Next, you need to ask for an attorney. Don’t mince your words. Say loud and clear, “I want my lawyer.” Don’t speak until you have had a chance to talk to your attorney and have them there to advise you.
