What Should I Do If I’VE BEEN ARRESTED?
-
1. Don’t Talk to the Police!
It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.
It’s important to note that:
- Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
- By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
- Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.
-
2. Ask for a Lawyer!As soon as you can you should elect your right to have a defense attorney present. A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer or public defender can ensure the police do not violate your rights and help you avoid saying anything incriminating during questioning. Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that we can be by your side whenever you need us. Call now!

Making a Difference for OUR CLIENTS

Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino.
“
Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino. To be honest, going into this case I was lost in all the steps and confused on what to do. With the help from you, Ashley, and Tyler, I can say I felt relief that I had wonderful lawyers to help me through this incident. In the past 9 or 10 years, I had always tried to figure things out myself. Going into this issue, I was discouraged on my ability to avoid the harsh punishment of one bad decision I had made on the day of my arrest. You and your team gave me the hope and belief that I needed. So I just wanted to give you my thanks. If ever I have anyone who needs a lawyer I will most definitely recommend you and your firm.
