Step 1: Protect Your Rights

Every U.S. citizen is granted a number of rights, even if they have been accused or arrested for a crime. These rights, however, are like muscles and if you do not use them, you lose them.

Known as your Miranda Rights, these include:

• The right to remain silent and not answer any police questioning
• The right to not incriminate yourself
• The right to have an attorney present to help you

Remember to be respectful and polite. Do not resist arrest as that may also lead to more evidence or harsher charges against you. Politely decline to answer questions until your New York criminal defense attorney is present.

Step 2: Call the Law Offices of Coleman Schneider Law Group

Your Case Is Our Top Priority

Your freedom and your rights are important. Never settle for less when it comes to protecting yourself.

Our New York criminal defense attorneys offer aggressive defense solutions for a wide variety of issues and are committed to providing the high quality professional services that our clients’ cases demand. 

Our firm is known for our aggressive approach to trial and our compassionate assistance to those who are facing serious legal issues. We are always honest and open with our clients and their legal options and never make false promises. Our reputation, however, speaks for itself.

Each Case is Unique

We believe that each case is unique. There is no cookie cutter strategy when it comes to how cases should be litigated. We work with each and every single client to help them understand what they are facing – and to prepare for all possible outcomes. Above all, our #1 objective is to get all charges dismissed, or reduced.

We offer an initial consultation to prospective clients over the phone, or in person at one of our locations. Regardless of how complex your case is, we can help. Our New York  City criminal law firm is selective about the number of clients we service each month. We only take on clients who we passionately believe we can help. Our goal is to get each client the best results possible, and to provide the best service possible.

That’s one of the reasons why our client’s refer us to their friends and loved ones. During your initial consultation, you can ask us anything. We can discuss what your case is about, what type of punishments you face, and how you can fight the accusations. Typically, we look at how to get the case dismissed, or how we can get a plea deal that results in an acceptable outcome. Our New York criminal defense lawyers are always available day or night to answer your questions, or any questions your loved ones have.

What to Do After a Brooklyn, New York Arrest

If you are arrested in Brooklyn for any reason, it is vital to understand and exercise your Constitutional rights and to know the best first steps to take after an arrest if you’re in this situation. Every American citizen has the right to legal representation when they have been arrested, and it is vital to acknowledge the importance of this Constitutional right. Without an attorney by your side, it’s possible that the law enforcement officers handling your arrest and booking may violate your rights and the laws of due process. You also have the right to remain silent, and you should exercise this right as well. Anything you say during and after your arrest can potentially work against you as the state builds its criminal case against you.

Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an arrest is one of the most important steps to forming a defense against the charges you face. The police will look for anything and everything they can find to use against you as they build their case for prosecution. They will not only look for evidence to convict you on the grounds for your arrest but also look for additional evidence that would allow them to tack on additional charges to your case. For example, if you are arrested for drug possession and say the wrong thing during your arrest or attempt to protest the situation, the police may attempt to charge you with obstruction or resisting arrest. Conviction numbers are important for them, so do not expect them to show you any leniency.

Many people who have been arrested resort to legal representation from public defenders. These attorneys are available free of charge, and the majority of them are quite capable of providing their clients with robust criminal defense counsel. However, they are also typically responsible for multiple cases at a time and cannot devote much individual attention to each case they manage in a given day. The criminal defense attorneys at Coleman Schneider Law Group can provide the individualized attention your case deserves.
