Understanding Your Rights
If you have been arrested or are under investigation, remember that you have important constitutional rights.
● The Right to Remain Silent
Anything you say can potentially be used against you. It is often best to speak with an attorney before answering questions from law enforcement.
● The Right to Legal Counsel
You have the right to consult with an attorney and have legal representation throughout the criminal process.
● The Right to a Fair Defense
Every individual is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Our role is to ensure your rights are protected and that you receive a fair and thorough defense.
What To Do If You Have Been Arrested
Remain Calm
Avoid arguing with law enforcement or resisting arrest.
Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent
Politely decline to answer questions until you have spoken with an attorney.
Request Legal Counsel
Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
Do Not Discuss Your Case
Avoid discussing details of your case with friends, family, or on social media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I hire an attorney if I have not been formally charged?
Early legal representation can be critical, particularly during investigations. An attorney may be able to intervene before charges are filed or help protect your rights throughout the process.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
Generally, misdemeanors carry less severe penalties than felonies. However, both can have significant consequences depending on the circumstances of the case.
Will my case go to trial?
Many criminal matters are resolved through negotiation or dismissal, but some cases proceed to trial. We prepare every case as if it may ultimately be presented before a judge or jury.
Can criminal charges be reduced or dismissed?
Every case is unique. Depending on the facts, evidence, and legal issues involved, there may be opportunities to negotiate reduced charges, alternative sentencing, diversion programs, or dismissal.
Protect Your Future
A criminal charge does not define who you are, but the decisions you make today can have a lasting impact on your future.
