What To Do If You're Arrested
Ask if you are being detained or under arrest. Do not try to explain yourself without a lawyer present.
The Mistake People Make
Many believe they can talk their way out of an arrest. Chances are if you are detained or handcuffed then the police officer already made up his/her mind. Do not speak to the police without your lawyer present. Do not post about the incident without discussing it with your lawyer. Do not miss a court date because you do not have a lawyer.

Common Questions
Can a criminal charge affect my immigration status?
Yes. In the United States, even a misdemeanor can potentially have consequences for your immigration status. The immigration consequences of a criminal charge depend on the specific offense, the outcome of the case, and your individual immigration circumstances.
This is why it is important to work with a criminal defense attorney who understands the potential immigration consequences of a criminal case and who can work with your immigration attorney or legal team to help protect your interests and pursue the best possible outcome.
Will I speak to attorney Yarly Cabello?
Yes, your free consultation is a telephone call with Attorney Yarly Cabello. You will have the opportunity to discuss your situation with me, ask questions, and learn about your legal options.
What should I do if I have been arrested?
First, do not speak to the police about the facts of your case without an attorney present. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Clearly state that you wish to remain silent and want to speak with an attorney.
What happens after I am arrested?
What happens after an arrest depends on the type of charge and the circumstances of the case. You may be eligible to post a cash bond, or you may be required to appear before a judge, generally within 24 hours.
If you appear before a judge, the court will address the charges and determine the conditions of your release, which may include setting or modifying a bond.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
The primary difference is the severity of the offense and the potential penalties.
In Florida, a misdemeanor is generally punishable by up to one year in county jail, while a felony can carry the possibility of state prison time, depending on the degree of the felony.
The specific penalties and consequences depend on the charge and the circumstances of the case. A criminal conviction can also have consequences beyond incarceration, including fines, probation, loss of certain rights, and potential immigration consequences.
