Peter E. Padula

You’ve been arrested and chances are you are uncertain what steps you should take or whom you should reach out to for help. This is when you need a skilled criminal defense attorney to make sure your rights are protected. Anyone charged with a crime has a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. This is the recommended course of action until you speak with an attorney. An attorney will need to understand the time line of events leading up to your arrest as well as the overall circumstances of your arrest; however, until you have contacted us, do not speak with law enforcement agencies beyond providing your name.
