The first thing to keep in mind, according to Shah, is to be respectful to law enforcement without providing too much information.
“Arresting officers may sometimes engage arrestees in conversation, and the arrestee can suddenly let his guard down and think the officers are his friends and suddenly start discussing all sorts of things, including the alleged crime. Heed your Miranda warning - you have a right to remain silent, and if you speak, whatever you say can and will be used against you!” Shah warns.
The next thing to keep in mind is to contact a friend or family member immediately and let them know where you are being held. That way they can move forward with assisting with bonding you out, or they can retain a lawyer to assist with the case. Do what you can to get the court to grant you a bond and to get released so you can fight your case while resuming your normal life.
“The key is that everyone has a right to see a judge and present his or her case as early as the bond stage. Even if you don’t have family or friends you have a right to see the judge,” Shah states.
He also alluded to the fact that non-US citizens might not be able to post bond if they have an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold, something that law enforcement can see when they run a background check on someone in some jurisdictions.
Shah further emphasized the importance of retaining a lawyer as soon as practicable.The legal system is highly complex and full of traps, and it’s important to have an experienced professional help navigate the terrain.
Additionally, non-citizens will be best served by retaining an immigration attorney with a specialization in “crimmigration” matters to assist with evaluating the criminal case in order to minimize any adverse immigration consequences.
"Different types of criminal charges, offenses, and convictions can dramatically alter someone's immigration status. That’s why you want to not only have a criminal defense lawyer involved but also an immigration attorney to see, in many instances, what type of deal they can make with the prosecution.”
Shah went on to mention that if the person arrested is unable to retain a lawyer, one will be assigned to them.
"In the United States, criminal defendants, irrespective of immigration status, have a constitutional right to a defense attorney. Sometimes people start with a court appointed lawyer and then retain a private attorney. Either way, getting a good lawyer is key!” Shah exclaims.
