Society’s need for effective law enforcement must be balanced by the respect for the rights and responsibilities of the individual. If you believe your rights are violated, do not try to resolve the situation at the scene. Rather, speak to an attorney from Slusser Law Firm after the incident. Remember that you have the right to remain silent, and that anything you say or do may be admissible in court.
Refrain from arguing with the police and immediately ask to call a Luzerne County criminal defense attorney at Slusser Law Firm, regardless of the time of day. An attorney from our firm will call you back within an hour. Try to remember everything about the incident and, preferably, write it down as soon as possible, including the names and phone numbers of witnesses. Take photos, if possible. An attorney from our team will need these details when speaking with you about your particular case and to begin preparing your defense strategy.
