New Rochelle Criminal Defense Attorney

Fighting to Maintain Your Innocence

A criminal charge is just that — a charge. It does not equal a conviction. Many people who are charged with crimes are under the impression that they are guilty, as the intimidating criminal justice system can make it easy to feel that way. But remember, you are innocent until proven guilty.

With the Law Office of Michael D. Litman, PLLC in your corner, you can rest assured that your case is in good hands. We go above and beyond to find holes and inaccuracies in the prosecution’s case against our clients, scrutinizing every element of their strategies and ensuring no stone is unturned. Believe it or not, prosecutors do not want to go to trial as badly as you may think. Trials can be expensive, time-consuming, and counterproductive for both sides, especially defendants, which is why our New Rochelle criminal defense lawyer can skillfully negotiate a plea and help you avoid trial altogether. You are not alone.

What to Do After Getting Arrested

Whether or not it’s your first time getting arrested, you can surely agree that the process can be overwhelming and nerve-wracking. This is normal, but don’t let these feelings interfere with your good judgment. You have rights — don’t forget that.

As such, we strongly urge you to keep the following tips in mind after getting arrested:

Be respectful: You may not agree with the police officer, but you should avoid fighting or otherwise challenging their authority. Even if you believe your arrest is unlawful, it is important to remain calm, civil, and polite throughout your arrest. Follow the officer’s instructions and cooperate at all times to avoid making a bad situation worse.

Remember your rights: You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer. Anything you say can and will be sued against you, so it’s important to exercise your right to remain silent. The police are, however, allowed to ask for your ID, vehicle registration, and insurance upon pulling you over. You should comply with these requests. You do not have to answer any other questions besides that.

Gather evidence: There’s not much evidence you can gather during your arrest, but remembering the details of your incident can help. Take mental notes of the officers’ names and badge numbers, any witnesses present at the scene, the officers’ course of action at the scene, and other key information you believe would help your case.

Call an attorney: The more important thing you should do following your arrest is to hire a lawyer. When you do, they can inform you of your rights, next steps, and legal options. It is important to exercise your right to an attorney, as they will spearhead your case from start to finish. Should you hire our New Rochelle criminal defense attorney, we will put over a decade of experience to work for you. With our invaluable insights, resources, and knowledge, our team is well-equipped to see your case through and help achieve a positive outcome on your behalf.
