What to Do in the First 24 Hours After an Arrest

1 min read No comments

Stay calm and stay silent: you have the right not to answer questions without a lawyer present.

Ask which offence you are suspected of, and ask for a lawyer straight away. Do not sign anything you have not read and understood.

Tell your lawyer about every document, message or witness that could help. The earlier we start, the more options you have — including bail.
