East Brunswick Criminal Defense Attorney

What Do I Do If I’ve Been Arrested?

An arrest occurs when a police officer takes an individual into custody. It’s important to remember that an officer can only arrest you if they saw you commit a crime, they have reason to believe that you’ve committed a crime, or a judge has issued an arrest warrant that has been supported by probable cause.

Things To Avoid After Being Arrested

Other tips to keep in mind after you’ve been arrested to avoid making your situation worse include:

• Don’t resist arrest – you may be charged with resisting or even battery on an officer.
• Don’t say anything – per your Miranda rights, you have a right to remain silent, and anything you say could be used against you in court.
• Call a lawyer – the sooner you hire a criminal defense attorney, the sooner they can help you gain release from jail and begin working on your case. If you can’t afford an attorney, a public defender will be provided for you.

Defenses Against Criminal Charges

Some defenses may include:

• Strategic Defense Planning: By conducting a thorough investigation and collaborating with expert witnesses, we create a strategic plan tailored to the specific circumstances of your case.
• Constitutional Rights Protection: Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, Fifth Amendment rights to remain silent and prevent self-incrimination, and the right to a fair and speedy trial. We tirelessly advocate for our clients to ensure that their legal rights are upheld throughout the legal process.
• Negotiation and Litigation Skills: Whether through negotiation or litigation, we strive to reach the best possible outcome for our clients. We aim to minimize the effect of criminal charges on your life by exploring all available legal avenues to secure a favorable resolution.
