If you are in custody or are being questioned by the police and need immediate legal counsel you may contact Mr. Henderson
at (626) 993-7267 24 hours a day seven days a week. You may also submit information by filling out the case assistance form
on this page.
DO NOT WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT OR TO HAVE COUNSEL PRESENT. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO TELL THE POLICE THAT
YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND AND WANT COUNSEL PRESENT BEFORE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONING. THEY MUST RESPECT THIS REQUEST. YOUR SPEAKING
TO THEM IS VOLUNTARY AND YOU MAY DECIDE TO STOP SPEAKING TO THEM AT AN TIME IF THEY WANT TO TALK TO YOU IT USUALLY MEANS THEY
CAN'T MAKE THEIR CASE WITHOUT A CONFESSION. STOP SPEAKING IMMEDIATELY.
THE POLICE MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. DO NOT ARGUE THIS POINT.
EVERY TIME THEY ASK YOU SOMETHING OR TELL YOU SOMETHING SIMPLY SAY "I AM SORRY BUT I REQUEST COUNSEL BE PRESENT" OVER AND
OVER AGAIN IF NECESSARY.
THE POLICE ARE TRAINED TO LIE TO YOU TO GET YOU TO SAY STUFF THAT WILL HURT YOUR CASE. THEY WOULD NOT BE TALKING TO YOU
IF THEY DIDN'T NEED YOUR STATEMENTS TO HELP CONVICT YOU. DO NOT TALK TO THEM...
BE AWARE THAT IF YOU ARE ARRESTED WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR IF THE POLICE KNOW THAT ANOTHER PERSON MAY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF
YOUR ACTIONS OR WHEREABOUTS THEY WILL OFTEN LIE TO YOU AND TELL YOU THAT THIS PERSON HAS INFORMED ON YOU. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS
IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS A LIE.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS WHETHER OR NOT YOU CHOOSE OUR LAW FIRM TO REPRESENT YOU.
