About Daniel Woodard
After more than 30 years of military and commercial helicopter flying, in 2018, I decided to leave aviation and pursue my true lifelong dream of becoming an attorney. I attended Lincoln Memorial University Law School, where I graduated with honors. After successfully passing the TN Bar and receiving my license, I joined The Garza Law Firm, one of East-Tennessee’s highest-rated criminal defense firms. For three years, I dedicated himself to gaining invaluable experience in criminal defense representation and completed numerous educational courses, specifically in DUI defense and trial representation, preparing myself to provide the highest level of service to my clients. My hard work paid off, as I have been voted by my peers as a City View Top Attorney in DUI Defense and Criminal Defense in 2022 and 2024.

Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial
04/23/2025
Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...
