I’ve been arrested.  What should I do?

Being arrested is one of the most frightening and confusing moments in a person’s life, especially if it’s never happened before. Whether you have been arrested for a drug crime in Texas or a Federal Crime, law enforcement is trained to take advantage of that confusion to accomplish their primary goal: to gather as much evidence as possible.  Therefore, it’s important that you exercise your Fifth Amendment right  and remain silent.  You also want to  immediately ask to speak to a good criminal defense attorney.

A close family member, friend, or loved one has been arrested.  What should I do?

When do I need an attorney?

The moment you believe you are even suspected of a crime.  Whether its the flashing lights in your rear view mirror, the boss calling you in to “question” you, or a phone call from a friendly detective just “trying to get some information,” law enforcement is going to use every opportunity to gather evidence against you and the best way to protect yourself is having an knowledgeable, experienced criminal defense attorney like Brent Mayr there with you.  Don’t wait for the handcuffs to go on.  Brent Mayr represents individuals well before criminal charges are brought and can, in many instances, work to keep them from ever coming.
