Esquire Law provides emergency legal triage services 24/7 throughout Alberta. Our lawyers prioritize immediate intake for individuals currently in police custody to ensure their rights are protected from the first hour of detention.

When you contact us, it is helpful if you can provide the person’s full legal name, date of birth, location of arrest or detention, and any charge information that has been disclosed. If you do not have all of this information, that is completely fine. The most important thing is that you provide the person’s name, and our office can assist with obtaining the remaining details.

If the police want to speak with you, it is important to understand your rights before responding or attending an interview. Even if the matter seems minor, what you say may affect your case. Contact our office before speaking with police so we can help you determine the safest next step.
