If you get arrested, immediately assert your right to talk to an attorney, which prohibits police officers from conducting a custodial interrogation and asking you incriminating questions. And suppose you’ve been charged with driving while intoxicated. In that case, our DUI lawyers can investigate your arrest circumstances to ensure that you receive fair treatment.
