If you have the misfortune of becoming involved in a criminal legal matter which could result in the loss of your freedom, you would be wise to consult with an attorney at the earliest possible moment in order to know and understand your rights. An attorney can assist you in protecting yourself and making sure that you do not make your situation any worse than it already is. If you are contacted by law enforcement to discuss a situation, you should very politely request to speak to an attorney first. If you are arrested and advised on your rights, one of which is to have an attorney present, you should exercise that right and ask to contact an attorney. If you are pulled over for DUI (OVI) you have the right to consult with an attorney and you should exercise that right. Whenever you have contact with a member of a law enforcement agency, you should treat the law enforcement agent with the respect he or she deserves, meaning that you should be polite.
