What to Do If You’re Arrested
If you’re arrested, stay calm and protect your rights before answering questions or consenting to a search.
Take these important steps:
- Remain calm and comply. Don’t resist arrest or obstruct officers, even if you believe the arrest is unjust, as this could lead to additional charges.
- Exercise your right to remain silent. You’re generally required to provide your name and identifying information, but you don’t have to answer questions about the alleged offense or offer explanations. What you say can be used against you.
- Clearly state you want an attorney. Inform the officers that you wish to speak with an attorney and won’t answer questions without your lawyer present. Whether questioning must stop can depend on whether you’re in custody, how clearly you requested counsel, and the circumstances of the encounter.
- Don’t consent to searches. You may have the right to refuse consent to a search of your person, vehicle, or home. If officers search despite your refusal, don’t physically resist. Clearly state that you don’t consent so our attorneys can evaluate the search later.
- Contact legal counsel promptly. Reach out to our attorneys as soon as possible or have a family member do so. Early involvement gives us more time to review the arrest, preserve available information, and begin preparing your defense.

Criminal Defense After an Arrest
When you contact us, our team reviews the details of your arrest and the evidence against you. Our attorneys include former prosecutors and lawyers certified in criminal law.
We explain your rights in clear language and outline the available legal options, representing you in court if necessary. Because the legal effect of an arrest, statement, or search depends on the specific circumstances, we examine what happened rather than relying only on the allegations in a charging document.
Houston Criminal Cases We Accept
We accept a broad range of criminal cases involving misdemeanor or felony charges. Potential consequences depend on the offense, alleged conduct, prior history, and other case-specific facts.
Our criminal-defense services include:
Administrative License Revocation is the administrative process that can affect a driver’s license after certain alcohol-related or drug-related arrests. It is distinct from the criminal case, even though both matters can arise from the same incident.

Our preparation process emphasizes:
- Continuing education: We prioritize continuous attorney education as part of our criminal-defense practice.
- Checklist-based review: We use checklists to reduce the risk that important case details are missed.
