Defending Those Accused In Criminal Cases

The First Questions that Arise After an Arrest

If you’re ever arrested for an alleged criminal offense, you’ll probably have a number of questions and concerns immediately. Am I going to go to jail? Should I tell the police my side of the story? Do I need a lawyer?

Keep Calm and Consider Your Options

In such instances, the most important thing to remember is that police officers are not your friends. In fact, even though the law says you are innocent until proven guilty, that doesn’t mean the police are thinking the same thing. Make no mistake, from the moment they arrest you, they are working to collect as much evidence as they can to use against you, including anything you say. This is why you should never make a statement without a qualified criminal defense attorney at your side! It’s your right and it’s an important one.
