The holiday season is here, and you may be visiting friends or family here in the Nashville area. You could attend plenty of parties and holiday gatherings with those you love, which means you may travel between locations and/or to and from a hotel. During those travels, you could end up gaining the attention of law enforcement officers who are probably out in force during this season looking for drunk drivers. If you end up getting stopped and charged with DUI, preparing your criminal defense will become a top priority.
If you find yourself under arrest for DUI, you cannot just go home after your visit and forget about the incident. Instead, you will need to find a way to deal with it. While having advice and assistance with criminal charges in your home state is important, it becomes crucial when those charges are filed in another state. You may envision a lot of time off work and travel in order to meet the requirements of the court, but it does not necessarily have to be that way.
