The First 48 Hours After a Criminal Charge Are the Most Critical
Evidence is being collected right now. Dashcam footage gets overwritten. Witness memories change. The prosecution is building its case from day one. Every hour without an experienced criminal defense attorney is an hour the other side spends preparing against you. The sooner Robert Hanaford is involved, the more options you have.
If You Have Been Arrested in Florida, Do These 3 Things Immediately
Stay silent
You have the right to remain silent. Use it immediately. Do not answer questions from police without an attorney present. Say only: "I want to speak with my attorney." Do not try to explain yourself — even if you believe you are innocent.
Do not consent to searches
Calmly state: "I do not consent to a search." This preserves your legal rights and your attorney's ability to challenge an unlawful search later.
