Protecting your rights with an experienced attorney.
What To Do if You’ve Been Charged With a Crime in Oklahoma: A Step-By-Step Guide
Hi, I’m Oklahoma City Criminal Defense Attorney Aaron Easton, and today we have a simple but very important question for us, and that is, what do I do if I’ve been charged with a crime in Oklahoma?
First, it’s important to stay calm. I know that’s easier said than done, but panicking or making impulsive decisions can hurt your case in the long run.
Seek Legal Representation
Second, don’t talk to the police without an attorney. You have the right to remain silent, and you should absolutely use that right. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Third, hire an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you get legal help, the better your chances of protecting your rights are.
Protect Your Rights
An attorney can advise you on whether to talk to law enforcement, how to handle bail, what to expect in court, so on and so on. Resist the urge to talk about your case and especially to post it on social media, anything about it.
Anything you share online can actually be used by the prosecution to help build a case against you. Simply put, facing criminal charges can be frightening, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
