What to Do After an Arrest or Charge in Douglas County

What you do immediately after an arrest or charge can affect how your case develops. Law enforcement may encourage you to talk. Remember, you have rights, including the right to remain silent and to speak to a criminal attorney before answering questions. Taking a few deliberate steps early can help protect your interests from the start.

Take these important steps after a criminal charge in Douglas County:

Don’t discuss your case with police or anyone else before contacting a lawyer.

Keep all paperwork, such as tickets, bond forms, or police reports, and share them with your lawyer.
Avoid posting about your case on social media or discussing details outside confidential legal communications.
Attend all court hearings as scheduled. These often take place at the Douglas County Hall of Justice or another court in the area. Missing a required appearance can create additional legal problems.
