What Should I Do After Getting a Felony Charge?
Following a felony charge, here are the steps you should be taking:
- Stay Calm. Panicking after an arrest won’t do you any favors. The more that you try to stay calm, the less of a chance that you will say something that may be incriminating and the more you will be able to learn about your situation.
- Use Your Right to Remain Silent. Remember that you don’t need to speak at all when you are arrested or charged with a felony or a misdemeanor. If you don’t speak, there’s nothing that can be used against you when you’re on trial, so keep that in mind.
- Contact Us Immediately. The sooner that you get in touch with an attorney, the sooner that you can begin fighting back against what you’ve been charged with.
- Speak Openly With Your Attorney. In order for your criminal defense attorney in Merrillville, IN and the surrounding areas to properly represent you, you’ll need to tell them the truth about your situation. What you share with your attorney is completely confidential.
- Don’t Speak About Your Case With Others. You never know when you’re being recorded or if someone you consider a friend will turn against you and testify against you during your trial. It’s best not to speak to people outside of your legal team about your case while it’s still ongoing.
