It doesn’t matter if you’re Ebenezer Scrooge or the Grinch in Whoville, nobody wants to spend Christmas in jail. However, the reality is that people spend the holiday season in different ways, and if you end up making a mistake and having a run-in with the law, spending Christmas in jail is a real possibility. We don’t want you to spend Christmas in lockup, which is why the team at Appelman Law Firm is committed to helping secure your release if you run afoul with the law this holiday season.
Arrested On Christmas
Arrests on and around Christmas are more common than you think. Alcohol is oftentimes a common factor, as people drink when celebrating with loved ones or to help get them through a particularly difficult holiday season. Christmastime can also be quite stressful, and if you don’t manage this stress correctly, you may make some bad decisions. DUIs, assaults and thefts all increase around this time of year, and it can be more challenging to secure your release when you’re arrested during the holiday season.
That’s because local courts are typically closed for the holidays. For example, this year the courts are closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day during the middle of the week. That means that if you are arrested late Monday night, there’s a possibility that you may not be able to be brought before a judge to have your charges formally read until Thursday. This could force you to stay in custody on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Should you find yourself in jail ahead of court holidays, you need to connect with a lawyer who can secure your release before being brought before a judge. Avery and the team at Appelman Law Firm have done this for countless clients, and we can do the same for you.
To assist with this, we strive to have someone ready to answer your call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including on holidays. People don’t only get arrested during business hours, which is why we remain ready to assist our clients whenever they need our help. Whether that’s at bar time or Christmas morning, you’re not going to be left out in the cold if you call Appelman Law Firm.
Don’t let an arrest ruin your holiday season. Connect with a lawyer as soon as possible during the process so that we can help secure your release and begin working on your defense. We can help get you back with your family during the holidays and work to ensure you avoid a worst case scenario when it comes to your criminal matter. Let our team bring a little joy this holiday season.
