What to Do if You Get Arrested or Detained in Florida

Protect Yourself. Stay Silent. Call a Criminal Defense Attorney Immediately

Getting arrested or stopped by the law enforcement is stresfful-but your actions in those first moments can have a major impact on your case. Whether you are being questioned, detained, or formally charged, it's critical to remain calm, protect your rights, and avoid making mistakes that could harm your defense.


Here's What You Should Do:

  • Do not resist arrest-even if it feels unjust. Physically resisting officers, pulling away, or arguing during the arrest. Even if you believe you've done nothing wrong, it can result in additional charges such as resisting arrest or obstruction. Stay calm and comply physically, but remember: cooperation does not mean confession. Let your attorney fight the legal battle on your behalf.
  • Stay silent and invoke your right to remain silent. You have a constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment to remain silent. Do not answer questions about where you were, what happened, or who was involved. Clearly state: "I am invoking my right to remain silent." This protects you from unintentionally saying something that could be used against you later-even if you are innocent.
  • Do not explain or justify anything. Trying to explain your side of the story to the police can backfire. Officers are trained to gether statements they can later use in court. Even a simple denial or attempt to clarify can become evidence. Instead, repeat calmly "I will not answer any questions without my attorney present."
  • Ask for a lawyer immediately. Clearly state, "I want to speak to a criminal defense attorney". Once you request a lawyer, the police must stop questionning you. Do not continue talking or answering questions after this point. The sooner you have legal representation, the better protected you are from missteps or self-incrimination.
  • Avoid speaking to others in custody. Anything you say to other people in holding cells or jail can be overheard, recorded, or reported-especially by informants looking for leniency in their own cases. Treat every conversation as if it could be used against you, and save all case discussions for your attorney.
  • Contact Barrister Law Firm as soon as possible. Timing matters. The earlier you speak with a skilled criminal defense attorney, the better we can protect your rights, guide your next steps, and begin building a strong defense. If you are in Orlando or anywhere in Central Florida, call Barrister Law Firm immediately for aggressive and strategic legal help.
