What Should I Do After My Arrest?

One of your Constitutional rights guarantees you the right to remain silent to avoid incriminating yourself, and it is in your best interest to exercise that right. Even though prosecutors are not present at the time of your arrest or in interviews, bodycam footage and recordings of interviews with investigators will be used to build a case against you. Prosecutors are known to twist your words and actions in order to paint you in a negative light, so the most effective way to protect yourself is to not speak with anyone – especially law enforcement – regarding your case until your attorney has advised you on the matter.

If you have not secured aggressive legal representation, you should do so immediately. Our adept Scottsdale criminal defense lawyer can make a momentous difference in the way your case unfolds, especially in the early stages of the investigation. You will need knowledgeable guidance you can rely on to help you navigate the pivotal days ahead. 

Could My Criminal Case Be Dismissed?

There are several instances that could lead to your case being dismissed and avoiding trial. If such instances exist in your case, you can depend on our firm to find them and use them to your advantage. Some possibilities include:

• Lack of evidence or lost evidence – without conclusive and concrete evidence tying you to the crime, the prosecution will not be able to build a compelling case against you
• Lack of probable cause to arrest – similarly, without substantive evidence pointing to you as the only possible suspect in the crime, law enforcement will have difficulty following through with charges
• An unlawful search – if law enforcement did not conduct their search lawfully, they have likely violated your Fourth Amendment rights, and therefore any incriminating evidence should be tossed out
• Uncredible witnesses – not every witness is a good one, and a witness who gives conflicting statements to law enforcement or is biased in any way should not be seen as credible
• Failure to inform of Miranda rights – your Miranda rights should have been read to you immediately upon your arrest, but if tensions were high at the time, law enforcement may have failed to do so, and therefore your charges may be dropped
