The process of being arrested can be really frightening.

The police and prosecutors are often very good at their jobs, so you should find a defense attorney who is just as good at his job.

The attorneys at Katz & Phillips know criminal defense law and don’t want you to take a bad deal

Sometimes it’s tempting to either confess to a crime or accept a plea deal simply because the criminal justice system is such a pain to deal with. Each year, this temptation leads to thousands of Floridians spending more time in jail and/or paying much larger fines than they should. Don’t let and police and prosecutors scare you into giving up your right to a fair trial.

While state laws sometimes change there are a couple of simple rules to follow if you’ve been arrested. First, once you’ve been arrested you should never answer questions without your attorney present. If the police or prosecutors ask you questions, politely tell them that you refuse to answer any questions without your attorney there.

Second, don’t consent to a search of your person or property. If a police officer asks you if they can search your body or a piece of your property, just say no. If they search you anyway never physically or verbally interfere and never lose your cool. Your criminal defense attorney will have a very good chance of getting any evidence they find through an illegal search thrown out in court.

Just keep in mind that these two rules may be different if you’re entering or leaving the country or if you’re stopped at a checkpoint.
