What happens next
Answer three questions and see the usual order of steps in your court, with the deadlines that may apply. Until you speak to a lawyer, do not talk to the police about the case.
Nothing you choose here is saved or sent.
This tool explains the usual order of steps in general terms. It is not legal advice about your case, and every case is different.
Arrested, or think you might be? Call before you answer any questions.
Call and tell us who was arrested or contacted and where the case is. A lawyer will tell you what happens next and what to do tonight. Please do not type what happened into a form or an email. We will talk about it on the phone.
