Once the police have permission to make an arrest, things progress quickly. One moment you are living your life as usual, and the next you are being taken into custody. The short period after arrest is critical to your case. Law enforcement uses this time to question you about the circumstances surrounding your arrest, which leaves you vulnerable to self-incrimination.
Contact our experienced Chattanooga criminal lawyer at the Law Offices of Meredith Mochel before you speak to police to protect your rights. Keep in mind that anything you say will be held against you in court, so it is always best to follow the counsel of a legal representative.
