Important Steps to Take After an Arrest
Every American citizen has certain constitutional and civil rights that come into play during an arrest. If the police arrest you for any reason, they must read you your Miranda rights during the arrest, usually as they place the handcuffs on you and move you to their squad car. These Miranda rights include the two most important rights that you must exercise at this time: your right to remain silent and your right to legal counsel.
Anything you say while in police custody could potentially work against you as evidence in the prosecution’s favor. Even if you have been wrongfully arrested for a crime you did not commit, resist the urge to attempt to plead your case. Ultimately, the police seek convictions and look for any reason to use your own words against you during the arrest and booking procedures. It is always best to exercise your right to remain silent until you have an attorney present.

Criminal Cases We Handle in Queens, NY
When facing criminal prosecution, it is vital to secure legal counsel from an attorney who has solid professional experience handling cases like yours. At the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, our team of attorneys has years of experience representing clients in a wide range of criminal cases, including:
- Violent crimes. If you are arrested for any type of assault, homicide, or other violent crime, you may need an attorney to help you prove that you acted in self-defense or are otherwise innocent of the charges against you. Violent crimes carry severe penalties under New York state law, so you need a lawyer who can help you fight these charges and, at the very least, help you reduce your sentence if acquittal or dismissal is not possible.
- Drug crimes. Drug-related offenses, including possession and trafficking, carry a wide range of potential consequences depending on the type of drug and the quantity the defendant had at the time of the arrest. It’s possible that your criminal defense attorney could help you secure alternative punishment such as substance abuse counseling or rehabilitation instead of jail time, depending on your circumstances.
- White-collar crimes. Crimes revolving around fraud committed for financial gain may not be violent but still, carry severe penalties. We can help you fight any white-collar crime charge, and our firm routinely works with financial professionals and other expert witnesses on behalf of our clients in white-collar crime cases.
- Sex crimes. Being accused of a sex crime is a serious matter, and these offenses carry a more significant social stigma than most other crimes. Unfortunately, many people are accused of sex crimes when they did nothing wrong. If you want to avoid the severe penalties, including the sex offender registry that often follows conviction for sex crimes, we can help you.
- Federal crimes. Depending on the type of offense involved in your case, you may face prosecution at the state or federal level. Federal crimes are grave, and it is essential to have an attorney who has solid professional experience handling federal crime cases.
