Don’t provide the police with any information other than your name and address if you are arrested unless your lawyer is present and approves what you say.

Don’t say anything if your lawyer instructs you to remain silent. Let your lawyer do the talking for you, no matter how hard it may be to resist the urge to speak.

Don’t sign anything, no matter what it is, without a lawyer being present.

Don’t agree to participate in a police identification line-up or any other procedure without your attorney being present.
