Metro East, Illinois, Criminal Defense Attorney
If you've been arrested, the most important piece of advice anyone can give you is this:
"The police are not your friends - even if they seem to
be. Trying to talk your way out of something will usually
result in giving them more evidence. If they are talking
to you, most of the time it's because they are building a
case against you. "
Do not talk to the police until you've talked to a lawyer.
Do not talk to family members or friends until you've talked to a lawyer.
