Over Labor Day weekend, Emmy-nominated actor Nicholas Braun, best known as “Cousin Greg” on HBO’s Succession, was arrested in New Hampshire and charged with DUI impairment and operating without lights.
Like anyone facing DUI charges, Braun quickly learned that even first-time arrests can have immediate and serious consequences.
According to reports, Braun was released on personal recognizance but is now subject to strict bail conditions. Court documents show that he must refrain from alcohol or controlled substance use while his case moves forward. His legal team also acted quickly, entering a not guilty plea on his behalf and waiving his in-person arraignment.
This case highlights an important reality: whether you’re a public figure or an everyday driver, having skilled legal counsel makes a significant difference in how your case is handled.
Even before trial, DUI charges can impact your daily life. Bail conditions like no alcohol consumption, license restrictions, and mandatory court appearances can create stress and uncertainty. Without legal representation, you might find yourself agreeing to conditions or procedures you don’t fully understand.
Waiting to hire an attorney after a DUI arrest can leave you vulnerable to stricter conditions or lost opportunities to challenge evidence early. Just like Braun’s defense team acted promptly, you should do the same.
Nicholas Braun’s arrest is a reminder that anyone can find themselves facing a DUI charge, and that the best way to protect yourself is with skilled legal counsel. If you or a loved one has been charged with DUI, don’t wait until your court date is around the corner. Reach out to an experienced DUI defense attorney who can guide you through the process and fight for the best possible outcome.
