                                        Six Steps to Follow if Arrested: A Survival Guide

We understand that being arrested is a very traumatic and upsetting experience for most people.

Alibi Bail Bonds is here to help you through it!  Here is what you should do if you or a friend (or relative)

has been arrested:


Step 1- Call Alibi Bail Bonds: 866 479-2237


We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will meet you at a convenient location to arrange bail

anywhere in Northern California.


Step 2 - Do not talk to anyone except a lawyer about the situation.


It is natural to want to talk to other people about the arrest or your feelings about it. Avoid this at all costs

since people you talk to could be called as witnesses against you. Talk only to your attorney about the

case.


Step 3 - Find the right Attorney


Finding the right attorney for you and your case is not an easy task. If you need a public defender,

this should be brought up at your arraignment. The court will immediately appoint one for you, if you

qualify.  To find a private attorney, start by calling the County Bar Association for a referral.  You might

also contact an attorney you know and ask for a referral for someone who specializes in your kind of case.

On the Internet, some very good attorney referral directories include:
www.findlaw.com, www.lawguru.  
com or www.lawyer.com.


Step 4 - When you wait for your court appearance


After you are released from jail awaiting your court appearance, it is important that you lead a very law-

biding life and do not break any more laws. It often helps your case to correct problems in your life that

caused your arrest. It also helps to do whatever you need to do to convince the court that you are now

trying to be a good citizen and improve your life. For example, enroll in anger management if you

anticipate the court will want you to do that. If alcohol or drug abuse is an issue, immediately enroll in a rehabilitation program.


Step 5 - Behave appropriately in court


Your physical appearance in court can influence the outcome of your case. Be sure to dress appropriately.

Tank-tops and sandals are not appropriate. Don’t bring your children to court, if this can be avoided. If

you must bring your children, bring snacks or meals for them. When standing before the court, be sure to

remain in control of your attitude and emotions at all times. Sarcasm or negative attitude can only hurt

you and your case. Do not discuss you case in hallways or in the bathroom, unless it is with your attorney.

After all, you never know who else is listening.


Step 6 - Preparing For Jail Time


If you are sentenced to jail time, it will be much easier for you and your family if you prepare ahead of time

emotionally and financially for your ordeal. Some practical things to do that will help include the following:


•        Organize your finances prior to going to jail.

•        Take a copy of your medical records, medications and prescriptions to the jailers so that you can
   
  continue any medications and medical care you may need.


•        If you wear eye glasses, take an extra pair, as glasses frequently get broken in jail.

•        Make arrangements with any storage units you have to continue storage of your items.

•        Give power of attorney to your spouse or partner for all business and financial matters.

•        Update your driver’s license before going to jail.

•        Women should arrange for child care and give temporary guardianship and authority for medical
  
   care to a trusted family member or friend.


•        Consider getting brief counseling to deal with the stress of incarceration or having to live without
  
   your partner or relative for awhile. You can talk freely to a clergy-person or a mental health   
   
   professional because they are bound to confidentiality and cannot legally discuss what you tell them
  
   to anyone.


•        Decide ahead of time how often you will call out from jail, because this can get very expensive. All
   
  calls from jail have to be collect calls through a company other than the regular phone company.
  
  This other phone company is charges higher rates, so your collect bill can add up very quickly.
