Public Intoxication Charge in Nashville | Raybin & Weissman, P.C.

Hi, I'm Ben Raybin and I'm a partner here at Raybin and Weissman. Nashville is known for its music scene and nightlife, and it's no secret that locals and tourists like to have a few drinks and things can get a little rowdy at times. Here in Tennessee, it's not a crime simply to be drunk in public. In order to actually be found guilty of public intoxication, the state also has to prove that you are a danger to yourself, a danger to others, or that you are unreasonably annoying other people in the vicinity. If you've been arrested for public intoxication that means you're facing a Class A misdemeanor. While that might not sound like a big deal to some people, a Class A misdemeanor carries up to 30 days in jail and the potential to stay on your record for the rest of your life. While it may be tempting to try to represent yourself in court, trust me you want an experienced criminal defense attorney in your corner appearing on your behalf if you've been charged with public intoxication here in Nashville. Don't Wait, give us a call today. We may be able to get your charge dismissed without you even needing to appear in court. https://www.nashvilletnlaw.com/crimin... #lawyer #criminaldefenselawyer #nashville #lawfirm
