You’re scared. Your license, your job, your freedom — everything feels like it’s slipping away. Derek Oliverson has spent 17 years in Arizona courtrooms getting charges reduced and cases dismissed. He answers his own phone. He fights like your future depends on it — because it does.
The next 24-48 hours are critical. What you do — and don’t do — right now can determine the outcome of your entire case.
You have the right to remain silent — use it. Anything you say will be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions until your attorney is present.
Prosecutors check your social media. Delete nothing (that’s destruction of evidence), but post nothing about your arrest, your night, or your charges.
The sooner your attorney is involved, the more options you have. Derek answers 24/7 and can begin building your defense immediately — before evidence disappears.
