What should I have done when I got arrested? I spoke with the police, was that the right thing to do?

Other than providing your name and date of birth it is not advised to speak with law enforcement without the presence of an attorney. Please refrain speaking to law enforcement until you are represented by counsel. If you have already made statements to police and are concerned it is vital to have an attorney review your case. There are many factual circumstances in which defense can argue to preclude Defendant statements based on legal authority. For instance, if you had been arrested but were not given certain advisement’s prior to questioning your answers may be subject to preclusion.
