Arrested In Miami-Dade? Here’s What To Do Right Now

The first 48 hours matter. Here is what you should — and should not — do:

Do not talk to police about the facts of your case, even to explain yourself.
Do not discuss your case on a jail phone line. Those calls are recorded.
Write down everything you remember while it is fresh — times, names, witnesses.
Do not post about the arrest or delete anything from your phone or social media.
Call a criminal defense attorney immediately. Do not wait.

Why Choose Law Offices of Orlando Rodriguez P.A.?

When you hire my firm, you get me — not a paralegal.

Criminal defense is not one of the things I do — it is the only thing I do, and it has been for 22 years. No personal injury, no family law, no immigration. I have spent my entire career in the Miami-Dade justice system and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

I have deep roots in the Miami community. As a fully bilingual attorney in English and Spanish, I speak your language and understand what is at stake for you.

I take a limited number of cases at a time. That is a deliberate choice — it is what allows me to give each client the attention their case actually requires. You and your family will not be left waiting to hear what is happening. I explain where the case stands, what comes next, and what it means, before you have to ask.

Were You Arrested While Visiting Miami?

If you were arrested while visiting Miami on a cruise, vacation or business trip, you need a local attorney who knows the Miami-Dade justice system from the inside. I regularly represent out-of-town clients who do not live in Florida but find themselves facing local charges, including:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Boating Under the Influence (BUI)
Drug possession
Public incidents

Facing a legal crisis from another state can be terrifying, but you likely will not have to fly back to Florida for every court date. I will handle the heavy lifting here in Miami – gathering crucial evidence, securing witness testimonies, rebutting the prosecution’s evidence and developing a customized defense strategy to protect your future. If you are out of state, communication will be everything. I offer personalized, direct criminal defense representation so you will never be left wondering what is happening with your case.

If you are facing charges in Miami-Dade from out of state, call 786-687-5174.
