What to Expect When You're Arrested (in San Antonio)Author: Sean Henricksen Law Firm
I'm a criminal defense attorney in San Antonio. When I was in my early 20s, I was arrested for DWI. I had no idea what to expect or what was going on with my case because my attorney didn't let me know what to expect. Now that I'm an attorney, I want to make sure that you don't have to go through the same experience that I did. This podcast will let you know what you can expect to happen at the different stages of your case. Even though it focuses on how cases in San Antonio are handled, it will be helpful even if you're charged somewhere else. If you've been arrested for DWI, assault, possession, or anything else, you probably have many questions about what will happen in your case. You'll probably have more questions while your case works through the system. This podcast will answer many of your questions.

That can feel frustrating when you’re the person listed as the victim, especially if you just want the situation to end and life to get back to normal.I walk through what your role actually is in a criminal case. Even if you reported the incident, you’re typically a witness, and you usually don’t have to talk to anyone about the facts unless you’re subpoenaed. That distinction matters, because extra conversations can create more statements, more consistency, and a stronger path to trial for the district attorney’s office.Then we get specific about the victim advocate. A victim advocate works for the district attorney’s office, not for you, and their job often includes keeping you informed while also helping the prosecution get ready for court. If you want dismissal, I explain why talking to the defense attorney first is often the smarter move, what options might exist like an affidavit of non-prosecution, and what to avoid if you do speak with a victim advocate, including re-telling the story or going in person just to “talk.” If you find this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find clear answers.If you have any questions about this or if you're being charged with a crime, feel free to call us at 210-405-6410 or click here to schedule a free consultation.Click the link below to receive 4 Things You Should Do If You've Been Arrested:https://bit.ly/3tDOVbtIf you have any questions about this or if you're being charged with a crime, feel free to call us at 210-405-6410 or click here to schedule a free consultation.Click the link below to receive 4 Things You Should Do If You've Been Arrested:https://bit.ly/3tDOVbtAdvertisementSean Henricksen Law Firmsean@seanhenricksen.com210-405-6410106 S.
