16 Sep Eggnog season sees a “spike” in DUI charges
The holiday season is upon us, bringing with it wintry weather and a flurry of festive celebrations. As family and friends come together, most will gather to eat, be merry, and of course, drink. In addition to gifts and goodwill, The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s see some of the highest rates of DUI charges and alcohol-related accidents all year.

When charged with a crime like Reckless Driving or DUI/DWI, you need to contact a knowledgeable DUI lawyer who understands these laws and potential flaws in technology used by police to convict you.
