Although we oftentimes say “Merry Christmas” to one another this time of year, the season isn’t always merry for many. In fact, for some, they can end up spending Christmas in jail because of one poor decision. Don’t let that be you this season. If you are arrested to taken to a police station on Christmas Eve, know that you don’t need to spend the night in jail. You have options, and the team at Appelman Law Firm would love to be a resource during your time of need.
Twin Cities Xmas Eve Lawyer
Perhaps you got caught shoplifting a last minute gift or you got pulled over after having one too many eggnogs at your in-laws house. We’re not here to judge how you got in this situation, we’re simply interested in helping you get out of this situation so that you don’t need to spend Christmas at a police station. Our best advice if you are arrested or detained on Christmas or any day for that matter include:
1. Keep Quiet – Don’t try to talk your way out of a situation with any information that could be used against you in court. Stay quiet, only share necessary personal information, and don’t provide police with details that could help them make a case against you. Don’t say “I only had two drinks at my in-laws, I’m fine to drive,” because all they will hear is an admission to consuming alcohol. Stay quiet, even if that means being arrested or detained, because this will make it much easier to navigate the fallout of the situation.
2. Contact A Lawyer – The next thing you need to do is contact a lawyer. At Appelman Law Firm, we answer our phones 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including on weekends and holidays like Christmas. Depending on your situation, you may be required to remain in custody until you can be brought before a judge, and if the court is closed for the weekend or the holiday, that could mean you’ll spend days in jail. This can be avoided with the help of a savvy attorney who can secure your release without needing to have you bought before a judge. We understand how important it would be to be released so that you don’t have to spend Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in custody, and we make sure we’re available if this becomes a need for you or someone you love.
Nobody expects to spend Christmas in jail, but it’s a reality for people every single year.
