Your Questions Answered
I’ve just been arrested in Palm Beach County. What should I do first?
If you are arrested or under investigation, your absolute priority should be protecting your rights. Do not answer police questions, make a statement, or try to explain your side of the story without legal representation present.
Politely tell the officers, "I am exercising my right to remain silent and I want to speak to a criminal defense attorney near me." Your next step is to secure an experienced Palm Beach County criminal lawyer who can guide you through the booking process, protect your future, and handle all communications with law enforcement.
