Evidence Preservation

“Once you are released, there are six things that you should do immediately. First, secure any piece of paperwork you were given. Second, write down everything you remember. Where you were, what you ate, what you drank, why the officer said you were stopped, what tests you were asked to perform. because details fade fast and those details can matter. Third, don't post anything on social media. Not jokes, not frustration, not I only had two drinks. Prosecutors can look for that stuff and they use it. Fourth, preserve the physical evidence. Keep your clothes. Don't clean your car. Save receipts. Save videos. Fifth, request your DMV hearing immediately if it hasn't already been done. Even if you haven't hired an attorney yet, file this request. You can't undo a missed deadline. And sixth, contact a DUI defense attorney right away. Early representation means evidence gets preserved, deadlines get met, and mistakes get avoided.”

“what i recommend is any time that you're in a situation where you're feeling uncomfortable or nervous and you think that there may be a potential for a domestic violence situation always record because you want to make sure that you are preserving the evidence that could eventually protect you if needed now obviously we don't want people in these situations but if you ever find yourself in a situation like that take videos take pictures make notes right after make sure that you're doing everything you can to protect yourself and ultimately call an experienced domestic violence attorney to help guide you through this process if you do unfortunately get charged with an act of domestic violence”
