3 Essential Actions to Take Immediately After Being Arrested

I'm sorry to hear that you've been arrested-it's a life-changing event that can significantly impact your future. As someone defending criminal cases in Central Florida for over 31 years, I've seen great cases slip through our fingers because crucial evidence wasn't preserved. In this video, I outline three vital steps you need to take immediately after an arrest to strengthen your defense:
Document Everything: Write down all the incident details as soon as possible. Use your phone's notes app or pen and paper to record everything you remember-the conditions outside, any security cameras nearby, and every detail you can recall. These notes will be invaluable months down the road when memories fade.
Secure Witnesses: Identify anyone who might have witnessed the event-friends, coworkers, bartenders, or even people who were present right before the incident. Gather their contact information now. Witnesses can provide essential testimony, but over time, they may become more challenging to locate, or their memories may fade.
Preserve Physical Evidence: Save any physical evidence that might support your case. This could be clothing, objects, or digital data like text messages or videos. For example, a client once saved a blood-stained sweatshirt that proved crucial in establishing self-defense. Be proactive in preserving this evidence before it's lost or overwritten.
Taking these steps can significantly impact the outcome of your case. If you've been arrested in Central Florida, I'm here to help. With over three decades of experience, my office is ready to assist you in navigating this challenging time.
