What to do if you are arrested.
Hi, my name is Arash Hashemi and I have an important list of Dos and Don'ts.
DO call an attorney as soon as you are under investigation or if you are arrested.
DO tell law enforcement that you want an attorney present
during any lineup or questioning. DO tell law enforcement that you want to remain
silent.
Make sure you tell them you want to remain silent.
DO tell the truth your lawyer. Lying to your attorney can only hurt your own case.
DO NOT talk to police without an attorney present.
Even if you have nothing to hide your words could be
misconstrued and it could hurt your case. DO NOT talk to anybody about your case;
anybody means anybody, including your cellmate.
DO NOT try to get the alleged victim
or witnesses to change their story. DO NOT resist
or flee from the police. This will only cause more problems and you could be
charged with additional crimes.
DO NOT sign anything, and I mean anything
without an attorney present. If you need more information
please be sure to visit our website or give me a call today.
