If I am arrested, should I speak to the police?

No. If you’re arrested, the constitution gives you the right to remain silent. You also have the right to discuss your case with an attorney.  Police officers are not on your side. They may lie to you, play tricks, and try to get you to talk, which could significantly impact your defense. We hear about this from clients everyday.

If you are arrested or even detained, demand an attorney and stop talking. Anything you say after demanding an attorney may be suppressed or thrown out before trial. This advice applies to all criminal offenses, including minor misdemeanors and serious felony charges.
