    Default Re: Dui.in Tn.and Ledt State Before Completing Fines and Probation

    Please don't post in all caps. It is the internet equivalent of yelling.

    Your best bet is to retain an attorney in the jurisdiction where you were charged to negotiate a resolution.

    This is not going to go away until you resolve it.
