Hiring the right attorney may well be one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make.
The right attorney should take the time to thoroughly get to know your case and understand how the potential outcome could affect your life. Your attorney should be available to answer your questions and return your calls. And your attorney should operate under complete transparency and be open and honest about the progress of your case. When your freedoms are on the line, you need a criminal defense lawyer that you are comfortable with and who you know will always give you straight talk about your case. Protect your rights. Protect yourself.
Know your Rights
You have the right to consult with an attorney before and during any questioning. There are traps set that are intended to provide you with a false sense of security and make you feel like you don’t need to consult with an attorney. Do Not fall into the trap police set by telling you they just want to talk to you informally, or that you aren’t under arrest. They may also try to intimidate you by asking you why you need a lawyer if you have nothing to hide..
These are tools law enforcement officers are trained to use to get you to talk. Your constitutional right is to talk with a lawyer BEFORE you say anything to the police. Enforce your right each and every time and under all circumstances. We have clients tell us they have nothing to hide and they are innocent, so why not be an open book? Unfortunately for them- and it happens all too often- not everything they said was reported exactly as they said it and exactly as they meant it. And unfortunately for them, they get charged. Innocence is not always a sure defense.
