DALE CARSON LAW

When a friend or family member has been arrested, the most important action someone can take for them is to speak with an attorney as quickly as possible so that the attorney can promptly act to protect that individual’s rights.

Other Things to Note if a Family Member Has Been Arrested

If someone you know or love has been arrested, it is critical not to discuss the case over the phone if they are in custody. All those phone calls are recorded, and authorities can potentially use any information discussed against them later in the case. Therefore, number one, hire an attorney as quickly as possible so that the attorney can come in and take steps to protect them; number two, avoid discussing any specifics of the case in your phone conversations with them.
