Firm Overview

Steve Oberman has been practicing law, primarily as a DUI lawyer in Tennessee, since 1980. He began his practice with W. Zane Daniel, John J. Duncan Jr., and Glen Claiborne under the firm name of Daniel, Duncan & Claiborne. Due to Mr. Duncan being elected Knox County Criminal Court Judge, and later our U.S. Congressman, Zane Daniel and Steve Oberman began their own firm in 1986, Daniel and Oberman. Sara Compher-Rice joined the firm in 2002 to assist Steve while developing a practice of her own as a DUI attorney in Knoxville, TN.

After twenty-six years of practicing together, Zane Daniel passed away in 2006 after succumbing to cancer. Since that time, the demand for Mr. Oberman’s expertise as Tennessee DUI attorney has risen and, due in part to space constraints, led Mr. Oberman to establish his own law firm with his valued associate, Sara Compher-Rice. Thus, The Oberman Law Firm was founded in 2008.

The mission of The Oberman Law Firm is to zealously represent our clients while maintaining the highest standards of professional responsibility and ethics. Of equal importance, our lawyers and staff strive to provide exceptional service to our clients and pride ourselves on prompt and thorough communication with our clients.

Due in part to the work ethic and dedication of The Oberman Law Firm to our clients, Martindale-Hubbell™ has bestowed the firm with the highest rating for law firms. Additionally, each of our Tennessee DUI lawyers have received many honors from numerous other organizations.
