It is important that you hire an attorney as early as possible, even before you are charged if that is possible. In any case do not talk to the police and do not give consent for anyone to search you, your house, your vehicle or your property. The Fourth and Fifth Amendments give you the right to remain silent and to refuse to allow anyone to search you, your residence or your possessions. Do not let anyone trick you into giving up these important constitutional rights. Police and district attorneys are well trained in how to twist your words and use them against you. If a police officer or an investigator asks you to talk to them or to consent to a search, tell them: MY LAWYER IS C. ZADIK SHAPIRO. HIS PHONE NUMBER IS 415-854-0377. I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL NOT CONSENT TO ANY SEARCH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL MR. SHAPIRO. If you have already spoken to the police or given consent to a search, what has been done is done but let C. Zadik Shapiro make the best of the situation. Call him immediately. He is available twenty four hours a day. Let him talk to the police, the investigator, or the district attorney.
