I was just arrested. What’s the first move?

Stop talking. Ask if you’re free to leave. If not, ask for a lawyer and remain silent. Don’t sign or consent to searches without counsel. Call us—early moves change outcomes.

Do I have to talk to police if they “just have a few questions”?

No. You can be polite and still decline. Say, “I want a lawyer.” Then stop talking.

What happens at an arraignment in Rhode Island?

You’re formally charged, enter a plea, and bail/conditions may be set (e.g., no-contact orders). We prep you beforehand and push for the least restrictive terms.

Will I go to jail?

Depends on the charge, history, facts, and judge/prosecutor posture. Many first-time matters resolve without incarceration. We’ll give you a frank assessment early.
