This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

From chiropractor to message therapist and making sure I had that extra help like trauma counseling to get through my days! I thank you so much Rachel and Annabelle!

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

What Happens After You Are Read Your Rights

You must stay quiet after your Miranda rights because law enforcement can use anything against you. Once you are read these rights, law enforcement can question you. The one caveat is if you change your mind during questioning, it must stop as soon as you ask for a lawyer. 

After you request the help of a lawyer, law enforcement cannot continue to question you. However, If you continue to talk then law enforcement will assume you have waived your consent to a lawyer. Requesting a criminal defense lawyer in Phoenix and stopping answering questions is vital.

Remember, while you do not need to make statements, you will be required to provide physical evidence. Some physical evidence you may need to give is a chemical test after a potential DUI. You will also provide fingerprints and photographs after booking. If you make it to the booking phase, you will have one phone call, which must be to your wrongful arrest lawyer in Phoenix. 

How an Arrest Warrant Works

An arrest warrant is meant to take people into custody from their homes. However, there are exceptions to needing an arrest warrant, such as when fast action is allegedly required. Examples would be when an officer believes the person is going to escape, destroy evidence, damage property or endanger a person’s life. 

When serving an arrest warrant, officers must knock and identify themselves. They must inform you that you are being placed under arrest. If you do not answer or refuse to come outside because you have done nothing wrong, they can enter the home through another door or window. Arrest warrants encompass the entire state, meaning any officer can arrest you, even without a physical copy of the warrant. 

How a Phoenix Wrongful Arrest Attorney Helps Your Case

It is essential to note the police officer’s behavior during an arrest. The actions or lack of action can help build your wrongful arrest case. If you are outside your home, the officers cannot search your home or vehicle, only your person. 

As soon as it is feasible, you must contact a lawyer to review your arrest and find a strategy to get you out of jail. A false arrest can change your life, and so can resisting arrest. You need the help of a wrongful arrest lawyer in Phoenix who knows how to handle these circumstances and will fight for your freedom and future. 

Do not trust the police with any statements. Once you are arrested, they do not care about your innocence; they only care to lock you up for the alleged crime. Law enforcement is looking for the slightest mistake, and you should not let them misrepresent or misunderstand you. 

A criminal defense lawyer has experience with these cases and knows what you should and should not say. Allow our lawyers to work for you. 

Contact a Phoenix Wrongful Arrest Lawyer

Police officers are not the only people who can arrest you. Security guards and private citizens can make a citizen’s arrest under exceptional circumstances. However, they cannot complete the arrest without taking you to a police officer. 

Private citizens can face consequences when they make an arrest, and therefore many people do not try to make arrests. When they take you to a police officer, then you can go into custody and officially be under arrest. 

There is the possibility that an officer uses excessive force when placing you under arrest, causing you harm. It is vital to speak with Zanes Law after an arrest to determine the best route for your wrongful arrest. Our Phoenix wrongful arrest lawyer is standing by to take your call and fight for you.
