Too many people arrested on drug crime charges wait to talk to a criminal defense lawyer about their legal options. Maybe they hope the problems will just go away. Or worse yet, maybe they think they can talk their way out of the situation. Whatever you believe, it is important to understand that advice from an experienced drug crimes attorney is valuable as soon as you are arrested — or even sooner, if you find yourself under investigation by the police for manufacturing or distributing illegal drugs.

If you are arrested for a drug crime, speak to no one but your attorney. Do not talk to the police. The police are not trying to help you. The only reason they talk to you is to gather evidence against you. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
