It’s the call that no parent wants: a late-night call from the police. Your teen has been arrested.
Talk to a lawyer before talking to the police
One of the biggest mistakes people who’ve been arrested make is believing that if they just tell their side of the story, everything will be okay. If your teen is arrested, you need to talk to an experienced criminal defence lawyer before talking to the police or making a statement.
