Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys Representing Clients in Maryland and in Federal Cases Throughout the United States

An encounter with law enforcement can be an overwhelming, frightening experience. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you may feel like you are in a hopeless spot with no way out. However, despite how bleak things may seem, you do not have to simply lie down and accept the charges against you. A criminal defense lawyer can stand up for you in court and explore the possibilities to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed.

How Should I Respond to an Arrest?

The first few hours after an arrest are often the most stressful, but those first few hours are vital to your case. Do not give any details to police or government actors (including Department of Social Services and Child Protective Services workers). Even if you want to just "tell your side of the story," understand that you should never do this until you have discussed it with a criminal defense attorney. There could be dire consequences as a result of anything you say, even if you are innocent.

Always demand to talk to a criminal defense attorney BEFORE giving any statement or version of events, especially if you did not do anything wrong. When you contact Craig M. Kadish & Associates, LLC, you can talk about the details of your case in private, protected by the attorney-client privilege. In that way, we can discuss your situation without any risk to you.
