Six steps that protect your rights in the first hours after an arrest in South Florida. Then call us — we answer 24/7.
Politely say you are invoking your right to remain silent. Anything you say can — and will — be used against you. Do not explain, argue, or "clear it up."
You can clearly state that you do not consent to any search of your person, car, or home. Do not physically resist — just make the refusal verbal and clear.
Say the words: "I want a lawyer." Once you do, questioning must stop. Then call Justice Beyond Law — available 24/7.
As soon as you can, note the officers, times, witnesses, and exactly what happened. Details fade fast and can win your case.
Stay off social media. Prosecutors read it. A single post, photo, or message can become evidence against you.
Some deadlines (like a 10-day DUI license hearing) move fast. The sooner an attorney is involved, the more options you have.
Your first case strategy session is free and completely confidential. Attorney Tyler Williams answers personally, 24/7.
