  • I wouldn’t bother. IMHO you’re better off just learning a bit about what to do and not to do during an arrest (e.g. when to speak and what to say, if anything). No lawyer is going to be helping you with that in real time when you need that information.

    Once arrested in the US you have the right to be provided an attorney at no cost. If you get one phone call I would not be wasting it on some lawyers guild. Call your family, friends, or whoever you need to get word out to for financial help or coverage while you’re in jail.

    Public defenders get shit on for many reasons, and they’re overworked and underpaid, but they can still be helpful to you for what you’re describing.
