|
| What should I do if I'm arrested? |
|
If you are arrested for any type of criminal offense or for any reason whatsoever, you should call our office immediately. This is one of the most important decisions you can make. If you decide to undergo questioning by law enforcement after your arrest without an attorney present, everything that you say or do can be used as evidence against you. In cooperating, you may unintentionally say or do something which works against you in your case.
