The legal standard police must meet before making an arrest or search.

PRO TIPS
Stay Silent Early On
Anything you say to police can be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions without an attorney present. Contact legal counsel as soon as possible.
Document Everything You Recall
Write down details about the arrest while memories are fresh. Note times, locations, and witnesses if possible. This information can help your attorney build a defense.
Avoid Discussing Your Case Publicly
Do not post about your case on social media. Statements online can be used as evidence against you. Let your attorney control public communications.
Choosing the Right Level of Defense
When Full Representation Is Needed:
Serious or Felony Charges
Felony charges carry severe penalties including lengthy incarceration. Full representation allows thorough investigation and negotiation. This level of defense addresses complex legal issues.
Multiple or Complex Charges
Facing several charges at once requires coordinated strategy. An attorney can identify overlapping issues and build a unified defense. This approach helps avoid inconsistent outcomes.
When Limited Representation May Work:
Minor Infraction Cases
Some minor offenses involve straightforward resolutions. Limited consultation may be enough to understand your options. This can save time for lower-stakes matters.
First-Time, Low-Level Offenses
First offenses with minimal evidence may not require extensive litigation. A brief consultation can clarify likely outcomes. This helps you make informed decisions quickly.
