system in a way that helps them make informed decisions the entire way through.
What Should I Do if I've Been Arrested?
Just because you've been arrested, it does not mean you've been convicted
or will be convicted of a crime. Your first move should be to call a criminal
defense lawyer to come and represent your best interests during this crucial time.
Remember that if you are arrested, you have certain legal rights, which
include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, the right
to a trial by jury or judge, and others. You are not obligated to answer
any questions by law enforcement, and it is usually in your best interests
to remain silent so that nothing you say can be used against you later.
You do not need to consent to a search of your vehicle or home unless law
enforcement presents a valid search warrant. Without a warrant, they need
“probable cause” to legally search your property, but you
have the right to refuse that search. Instead, contact a lawyer for advisement.
With a skilled lawyer by your side, you stand a stronger chance of meeting
a favorable outcome, whether we negotiate a plea bargain, fight for dismissal,
or fight for reduced charges.
