If you are charged with a crime you are probably frightened, confused, and concerned
about your future and that of your family. Anyone who is arrested should REMAIN SILENT! This means do NOT answer questions
asked by the police. Just politely say “I want a lawyer,” and contact an attorney as soon as possible.
