Arrested in Lantana? Here's What to Do

​

If you've been arrested or questioned by police in Lantana, follow these crucial steps:

​

• Stay Silent. You have the constitutional right to remain silent. Do not explain, justify, or argue—anything you say can be used against you.

• Request an Attorney. Calmly state: “I want to speak with my attorney.” Then stop talking.

• Do Not Consent to Searches. Unless police have a valid warrant, you are not obligated to allow searches of your car, home, or personal property.

• Remain Calm and Respectful. Even if your rights are being violated, remain non-confrontational. Your attorney can challenge illegal conduct in court.

 

Your actions in these first moments can drastically influence the outcome of your case.

Call us immediately after any arrest or police interaction.

​

How We Build Your Criminal Defense

​

We use a results-driven, evidence-based approach designed to give you every legal advantage. Our criminal defense process includes:

​

• Detailed investigation of your arrest, police conduct, and prosecutorial evidence

• Identifying procedural errors (such as illegal stops, unlawful searches, or Miranda violations)

• Filing strategic pretrial motions to suppress evidence or dismiss improper charges

• Negotiating directly with prosecutors for dismissals, charge reductions, or alternative sentencing

• Litigating in court with precision and preparation when trial becomes necessary

 

At every step, we are guided by one goal: to protect your rights, your record, and your future.

 

The High Stakes of a Criminal Conviction in Lantana

​

A criminal conviction—even for a misdemeanor—can impact nearly every aspect of your life. Possible consequences include:

​

• Time in jail or state/federal prison

• Substantial fines and court costs

• Permanent criminal record

• Loss of employment and professional licenses

• Driver’s license suspension or revocation

• Immigration issues for non-citizens (including deportation)

• Loss of civil rights (voting, firearm ownership)

 

You don’t have to accept these consequences. A skilled Lantana criminal defense attorney can help you navigate the justice system and fight to minimize—or eliminate—these penalties.
