FAQs

What do I do if I am arrested or stopped by the police?

Trust Mr. Scoca – He Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police

If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust.  Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway.

Do not lie to law enforcement officials.  Even innocent conversation can sometimes result in a problem for you during the course of an investigation.

You have the constitutional right to remain silent and to have the attorney represent you during all stages of a criminal investigation. Exercise your rights and have a qualified attorney communicate with the investigating authorities.

If you are being investigated for a Federal, State or Municipal crime or other serious charge, do not answer any questions. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer any questions. This cannot be stressed enough. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights.
