Liberty Law Team

Being arrested, especially for the first time, can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. Feeling alone, scared, and even helpless in this situation is normal. However, it’s crucial to stay calm and act quickly to take the necessary steps to protect your rights and build a strong defense against the charges you’re facing. One of the most important actions you can take at this stage is to contact an experienced Philadelphia criminal defense attorney, such as Lonny Fish at Liberty Law, as soon as possible.

Acting promptly after your arrest is essential to give Lonny and his team enough time to evaluate your case and prepare for your bail hearing and preliminary arraignment. These critical events typically occur within 72 hours of your arrest and booking—sometimes even sooner. Having a skilled and experienced attorney like Lonny Fish by your side during these proceedings can make a significant difference, as they set the tone for the rest of your case.
