If you are arrested in the Indianapolis area and charged with a crime, your first thought probably is, “What do I do now?” Then you think, “What’s going to happen to me?” Then a lot of other questions start crowding into your head about your family, your job, your reputation. Your mind whirls with questions while you’re riding in the back of a police car or van, handcuffed, being taken to jail.
Indianapolis ranks as the 13th most dangerous U.S. city according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report. There were 145 murders in 2015 and 149 in 2016. Not all crimes are as serious as murder, but when you’re the one being charged, there are no trivial crimes and no trivial cases. You need an Indianapolis criminal lawyer who believes your case is as serious as you do and will fight for your rights.
What do you do now? First, don’t talk to the police. Remember, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. When you get to the police station and they book you in, tell them you want to call an attorney before talking to them. Then call Potts Law.
Kevin Potts is an experienced Indianapolis criminal defense lawyer who has tried your type of case before. He’s also a former prosecutor so he not only knows how to defend you, he also knows how the government probably will go about prosecuting you. From your police interview through your arraignment (initial hearing where you’ll be formally charged and can ask for bail), through the evidence gathering process to your ultimate trial, Kevin Potts will be with you every step of the way aggressively fighting for you, your rights and your freedom.
If you or a loved one is already involved in an Indianapolis criminal case, don’t try to fight it alone. The government has lawyers and their job is to convict you.
