What to Do If You Are Arrested

An arrest can be a disorienting and frightening event. It is crucial to remember that you have rights. 

Here are important steps to consider: 

  1. Remain calm and comply. While the situation is stressful, try to stay as calm as possible. Do not resist arrest or obstruct officers, even if you believe the arrest is unjust, as this could lead to additional charges. 
  2. Exercise your right to remain silent. You are generally required to provide your name and identifying information, but you do not have to answer questions about the alleged offense or offer explanations. Anything you say can and likely will be used against you. 
  3. Clearly state you want an attorney. Inform the officers that you wish to speak with an attorney and will not answer questions without your lawyer present. Questioning should stop once you request an attorney until your lawyer is with you. 
  4. Do not consent to searches (if you can). You usually have the right to refuse consent to search your person, vehicle, or home if officers do not have a warrant. If they search despite your refusal, do not physically resist, but make it clear you do not consent. Your lawyer can later challenge the legality of the search. 
  5. Contact legal counsel promptly. Reach out to an attorney as soon as possible or have a family member do so. The earlier a lawyer is involved, the better they can protect your rights and begin working on your defense.
    Gary exceeded my expectations, and was able to get my charges completely DISMISSED!
    “I absolutely recommend, respect, and appreciate Gary and his team.They made the legal process easy, and were extremely helpful throughout the entire DWI ordeal. Gary specializes in Texas DWI cases and has a history of success. More importantly, in my opinion, is his fortitude, persistence, and unapologetic approach to these complacent DAs and Judges that seemed so eager to destroy my livelihood. Call Gary Trichter!! He will shoot you straight, and you will not regret hiring him and his team.”

But more then that he is an amazing person that truly care about his client. I will forever be great full for what he has done for me in helping me have my case dismissed. Thank you again Gary!!!”
