Profile

In Tennessee, it's a crime to provide alcoholic beverages to minors. It's a crime to provide alcoholic beverages to the visibly or obviously intoxicated.Commercial establishments that sell alcoholic beverages to minors or to customers already intoxicated may share civil responsibility to innocent victims for injuries or wrongful death caused by the wrong-doing of such minors and intoxicated patrons. This responsibility sellers and servers of alcoholic beverages assume is called "Dram Shop Law".We do not represent drunk drivers; we sue them and sometimes the taverns, bars, beer and liquor stores that sell them alcohol when they're already intoxicated or underage. Mike Faulk has successfully prosecuted dram shop cases for innocent third parties who have suffered catastrophic injuries or death and have fallen victim to careless bartenders, bar maids, beer store clerks, and the drunk drivers to whom they sell more alcohol after the drunk driver is already visibly intoxicated.At the Faulk Law office, we're not just in the business of litigating. We believe in the truth of the old adage: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." In addition to assisting in teaching locally-offered classes in alcohol server training programs, to help prevent alcohol-related injuries Attorney Mike Faulk offers twenty-minute programs to civic groups and businesses in the alcohol sales industry, one-hour lectures and four hour seminars to businesses wishing to supplement alcohol server training for employees, and similar legal seminars for attorneys both prosecuting and defending dram shop cases.Mike Faulk has become Tennessee's most widely published author on the subject of alcohol-related litigation with articles appearing in both the Tennessee Bar Journal and The Tennessee Trial Lawyer.
