Focused strategies for real-world legal issues.
What to Do If You Are Arrested
Your criminal defense case begins the moment you encounter the police. You do not have to answer their questions or even identify yourself unless the police detain you. You can ask the police at any time if you are free to go, and if they say no, you are being detained.
If you are detained, you must identify yourself, but you are not obliged to answer other questions—and you should not. Instead, tell the police you choose to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.
If the police arrest you, maintain silence and ask again for a lawyer. Call an Alpharetta defense attorney at your first opportunity and wait for him to arrive before you answer any questions.
If You Are Stopped in a Vehicle
When you are stopped while driving, you must present your license, registration, and insurance information on request. You do not need to consent to a search.
If the officers suspect you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they may arrest you on suspicion of DUI. Once arrested, you may be asked to provide a urine or blood sample for testing. Under O.C.G.A. § 40-5-55, a refusal to consent to testing can be used to suspend your driver’s license for one year. Additionally, your refusal may be used against you in a DUI prosecution.

Why You Should Work With a Criminal Defense Attorney
Working with a skilled lawyer in Alpharetta could make a huge difference in the outcome of your criminal case, even if you think the odds are stacked against you.
We independently review the circumstances surrounding the investigation and arrest to determine whether the police violated your rights—if so, it may be possible to dismiss the charges or at least suppress evidence they obtained illegally. In every criminal case, we investigate every viable defense. Such defenses include:
- Alibi
- Improper collection or handling of evidence
- Insufficient evidence
- Lack of intent
- Mistaken identity
- Self-defense
- Unreliable witness
Entrapment, duress, and other defenses might be applicable in certain cases.
Every situation is unique, and at Cullen Law, we individually tailor your defense to offer the best chances of a favorable result in your specific case.
