Arrested or under investigation?
The first decisions can affect bond, statements, evidence, and the direction of the case. Start with the situation in front of you.
Do not give an investigative statement without counsel.
Preserve messages, videos, documents, and original records.
Follow bond, no-contact, and court conditions exactly.
Identify deadlines, warrants, and the next required event.
Choose the situation that matches what is happening now.
Each pathway gives immediate, focused guidance and then returns to the same question: what evidence exists, what must be preserved, and what should happen next.
