  • Home-state driver license
  • Any notice from each state’s motor-vehicle agency
  • Court appearance/travel instructions
  • Prior driving record if relevant
  • Attorney contacts in the arrest state
  • Employer/CDL consequences if applicable

Questions to take to counsel

  • Which state handles the criminal charge?
