What To Do If You Are Arrested

If you have been arrested for a crime in Miami or Palm Beach, your freedom is literally on the line. Immediately after an officer cuffs you, the government begins preparing its case. You should too. By aligning yourself with the trusted criminal defender at Chukwuma Law Group, P.A., you secure an ally who will fight to protect your rights, your freedoms, and your future. I am that ally.

I passionately advocate for every client who comes through my door and make sure they know everything they need to succeed. Too many people are unsure of how to protect themselves or their rights when facing criminal charges. As your attorney, I will not fail you in this regard.

How To Protect Your Rights During An Arrest

When arrested in South Florida, these guidelines should help inform your interactions with police while protecting your rights and freedom:

• Video the interaction
• Be polite and respectful
• Do not consent to a search
• State you are exercising your right to remain silent and then remain silent
• Do not believe the police – they can legally lie
• Request to speak to a lawyer

During the arrest, law enforcement may not have respected your constitutional rights and may have even physically abused you. These factors are extremely relevant to your case and your defense but wholly depend on you asserting your rights to protect yourself in Broward County.

I Want To Hear Your Story

I understand that up until this point, no one has listened to you. Few people on the side of law enforcement will care what you have to say. I not only want to hear your side of the story, but I also care about it. Contact me today by calling 954-836-6551 and schedule a free consultation at Chukwuma Law Group, P.A., today.
