HELPFUL TIPS

If you are arrested

Do not speak to law enforcement officers until you have talked with an attorney. You have the right to remain silent and you have the right to an attorney. Once taken into custody a peace officer is required by law to read you these rights (Miranda Rights). The only thing you need to say is that you want to talk to an attorney. At this point pay attention to everything happening but it is wise to not make any comments as anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

If you are bailed out

Keep the forms given to you by the bail bonds company and contact an attorney right away to discuss your options.

If you have an issue with your employer

  1. Preserve any recordings, videos, or other records that prove your issue
  2. Make a list of witnesses and contact information
  3. Make a journal describing the events in detail
  4. Consult with The Law Office Of Jeremy M Dobbins to determine your next move

If you have been the victim of injustice or discrimination

1. Preserve any recordings, videos, or other records that prove you were deprived of your rights
2. Make a list of witnesses and contact information
3. Make a journal describing the events in detail

If you are in an accident or become injured mentally or physically

1. Seek medical attention
2. It’s ok to open a claim with the insurance company of the party that injured you but do not give them information.
3. Keep a journal of what happened, including a list of witnesses, medical treatment you received, and a detailed account of what happened leading up to the incident, the incident itself, and what happened after the incident. Including any lost work time or other missed events.
4. Don’t settle with or even talk with the insurance company until you talk to an attorney
