Above all else, people come first. Tyler’s passion for representing his clients stems directly from this ideal. People involved in the criminal justice system are treated as just a number, and it takes a talented and dedicated criminal defense attorney to change that narrative.

What Should I do if I've Been Arrested?
-
1. Don’t Talk to the Police!
It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.
It’s important to note that:
- Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
- By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
- Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.
-
2. Ask for a Lawyer!As soon as you can you should elect your right to have a defense attorney present. A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer or public defender can ensure the police do not violate your rights and help you avoid saying anything incriminating during questioning. Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that we can be by your side whenever you need us. Call now!
-
What Happens if I Get Arrested?
If you're arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It's crucial to exercise these rights. Avoid making any statements to the police without legal counsel present. Your lawyer will guide you through the legal process, protect your rights, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
-
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?The cost of a criminal defense lawyer can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the specific services required. It's best to consult with a lawyer directly to discuss fees and payment plans. Many lawyers offer free initial consultations to assess your case and provide an estimate.
-
Can I Represent Myself in Court?Yes, you have the right to represent yourself in court, but it's generally not advisable. Criminal law is complex, and mistakes made during legal proceedings can have serious consequences. A skilled attorney can protect your rights, navigate the legal system, and advocate for your best interests.

“I'm deeply thankful for the team at Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm”
Writing on behalf of my brother, I'm deeply thankful for the team at Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm and how quick Joe responded to my online request.

“Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino.”
- C.V.Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino. To be honest, going into this case I was lost in all the steps and confused on what to do. With the help from you, Ashley, and Tyler, I can say I felt relief that I had wonderful lawyers to help me through this incident. In the past 9 or 10 years, I had always tried to figure things out myself. Going into this issue, I was discouraged on my ability to avoid the harsh punishment of one bad decision I had made on the day of my arrest. You and your team gave me the hope and belief that I needed. So I just wanted to give you my thanks. If ever I have anyone who needs a lawyer I will most definitely recommend you and your firm.
