What Should I Do Now?

Get Legal Advice

If you are being investigated for a criminal offence or following your arrest, you should contact a lawyer to get advice.  Anything you say to the police can be used against you in court so it is important you speak with a lawyer first.

Start on Your Defence

It is important that you start preparing your defence now.  Any documentary evidence needs to be saved you should write what happened and identify any potential witnesses that may help your case.

Remain Silent

Until you get advice from a lawyer, do not talk to your friends, your family, other inmates or other individuals about your arrest.  Any statements made to these individuals can be used against you in court.

A final thought for consideration...

If you’ve been arrested or are being investigated for a criminal offence, it is crucial you remain silent until you have secured legal representation and received legal advice.  Anything you say can be used against you in court, so it is important that you speak with a lawyer before you talk to the police.  While you can provide police with your basic information, like your name, date of birth and address, it is important to get advice before answering any questions of giving any statements about the alleged crime.
