Being stopped, questioned by the police and/or arrested can be frightening. If you have been contacted by the police regarding a criminal investigation, you should speak to an attorney who can advise you of your rights before speaking to law enforcement.
If you, or someone you know, has been arrested and you have questions about a pending criminal case, contact your attorney or call the Criminal Defense Office in your borough to find out how to get help.

Like adults, youth have a right to an attorney and may request to consult with an attorney PRIOR to and DURING any police interaction. We do not advise meeting with police without consulting an attorney.
