What to Do if You Are Arrested in Fulton County

Were you arrested and charged with a criminal offense in Fulton County? A proactive approach to your case is an absolute must. Do not wait to take action to build your defense. Here are four steps to take following an arrest in Fulton County:

• Exercise Your Fifth Amendment Rights: From the moment you are taken into custody, you should politely inform law enforcement that you wish to invoke your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. You should refrain from answering any questions, as even small talk or off-hand comments can be used against you later. What comes off as a seemingly innocuous statement may be twisted in court. With that in mind, it is best to say nothing at all.

• Decline to Consent to a Search: Along the same lines, you should be prepared to exercise your Fourth Amendment rights. Unless officers produce a valid warrant signed by a judge, you have no obligation to consent to a search of your person, vehicle, or property. You have the right to refuse a search. If one is conducted anyway without your consent, you retain the right to challenge the legality of that search (and the evidence obtained) in court.

• Know the Charges You are Facing: You should immediately request that the arresting officer identify the specific charges. Under Georgia law, you have the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation (O.C.G.A. § 17-4-20). It could be a big mistake to simply assume you know what you are facing. There may be more or different charges filed than you initially realize. You need to know exactly what you are facing.

• Speak to a Fulton County Defense Attorney: The right attorney can make a big difference in your case. Indeed, getting top-tier professional legal representation should be your top priority after an arrest in Fulton County. A qualified criminal defense lawyer will review your case, answer your questions, and start building the most effective defense strategy.
