It\u2019s okay if you\u2019ve landed in a bit of legal trouble. But it\u2019s not okay to lie your way out of jail. The consequences are severe, including everything from the revocation of your bail to increased jail time.<\/span><\/p>\n

But beyond the court of law, it\u2019s even more essential that you never lie to your bail bond agent or attorney. You need to fill them in so they can advise you to the best of their abilities; your freedom may depend on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you must tell your lawyer after you\u2019ve been arrested:<\/span><\/p>\n

Criminal history<\/span><\/h2>\n

The court\u2019s verdict\u2014including the bail decision\u2014depends on the defendant\u2019s past criminal history. A classic example of this is the law surrounding\u00a0<\/span>DUIs<\/span><\/a>. If you are found to be driving under the influence for a second or third time, the fine will be much higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your attorney is informed of all past convictions and penalties\u2014if any. If they present a different case to the court, the judge might revoke your bail on account of misrepresentation or fraud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"case<\/p>\n

Moreover, if they\u2019re aware of past charges, they\u2019ll be able to give you a decent estimate of the expected bail amount and will guide you accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series of events<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whatever happened at the site of the incident, make sure you\u2019ve informed your attorney about every detail. These details will help them build a strong case at the time of the trial. They\u2019ll also help them investigate the case further, and decide upon the best course of action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The attorney needs the right information to collect physical evidence, interview witnesses, and gather relevant data to present an effective defense. They\u2019ll also put you in touch with the relevant DNA profiling agencies and mental health experts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
