Law Office of Ann Gottesman Criminal Defense AttorneyWhat to do if you’ve been arrested in Pasadena, Riverside, San Bernardino California.

Important information you’ll need to know. 

If you are arrested or even if you are questioned by a police or an investigator without being arrested, you should tell them that you would like an attorney and you are invoking your right to remain silent.  You should not say anything to anyone...especially the police. Whatever you say to the police or any police investigator will be used against you in a court of law.

Many people feel that the police or investigator will get upset or view the questioned person more suspiciously if they refuse to cooperate and demand a lawyer. However, most of the time, police question someone they already believe is involved in a crime and are searching for more evidence in order to seek a filing of the charges and ultimately a conviction.  It is usually NEVER in your interest to talk to police if you have been arrested or are being investigated for a crime. The sad truth is that many times the District Attorney would never have been able to file criminal charges or obtain a conviction if the Defendant had simply kept his mouth shut. Even seemingly innocent statements can be used against you in a negative way. So always say that you want a lawyer and have been advised never to make a statement to police investigators without your attorney present! Also, if you are arrested and taken to jail, be careful what you say on the phone because all inmate phone calls are recorded.

It is important that you immediately contact an attorney if you have been arrested, charged or even suspected of committing a crime. People often wait too long before retaining an attorney. If a person is arrested and taken to jail, they will be brought to court for the Arraignment within 3 days, or a little longer if the arrestee was unlucky enough to get arrested on a Friday or weekend. The early stages of a criminal case can be the most important and people without an attorney by their side often say and do things during those early stages that are used against them later on in trial or during plea negotiations.
