What to Do if You or a Loved One Needs Immediate Counsel

If you or a loved one has been arrested, indicted, or is under investigation, it's essential to take the right steps to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome. 


Here's what you need to do:

  • Don’t Speak to Authorities Without an Attorney:  If you or your loved one is arrested or under investigation, it’s critical to exercise your right to remain silent. Anything said to law enforcement can be used against you in court. Avoid speaking to police or investigators until your attorney is present to protect your interests.
  • Request Legal Representation Immediately: As soon as you or a loved one is arrested or made aware of an investigation, immediately request an attorney. Having legal representation early on ensures that your rights are safeguarded, and the process moves forward with someone advocating for you. 
  • Document Everything: If possible, keep a record of every detail about the case. This includes who was involved, what happened, any statements made by law enforcement or witnesses, and even the time and location of events. These notes will be crucial for your attorney to build a solid defense strategy.
  • Don’t Resist Arrest: Even if the arrest feels unjust, never resist or argue with law enforcement. Resisting arrest can lead to more charges and complicate your case. Stay calm and let your attorney handle the legal matters.

  • What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

    Misdemeanors are generally considered less serious offenses. They are typically punishable by fines, community service, probation, and/or a jail term of up to one year, usually served in a local jail. Examples of misdemeanors include petty theft, simple assault, and disorderly conduct.    


    Felonies, on the other hand, are more serious crimes that carry harsher penalties. These can include lengthy prison sentences (often served in state or federal prisons), substantial fines, and other consequences. Examples of felonies include murder, rape, armed robbery, and kidnapping.  

  • When do the police have to advise me of my rights?

    Police are required to advise you of your Miranda rights when you are in custody and subject to interrogation. When you are arrested and taken to an interrogation room and the police begin asking you questions about the crime, you are in custody and subject to interrogation, so Miranda Rights applies. The police must advise you of your rights before proceeding with the interrogation. 

  • I plan on pleading guilty, do I need a lawyer?

    Even if you plan to plead guilty, it is highly recommended that you consult with a lawyer. While it might seem like a straightforward process, there are many complexities and potential pitfalls that a lawyer can help you navigate.
