Criminal Law
Don't Let Criminal Charges Ruin the Rest of Your Life.
If you have been charged or are about to be charged with a serious crime,
it is imperative to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately!
The police and district attorney do not have your best interest in mind.
The truth is that too often overzealous police, seeking to make a quick arrest,
violate an individual's constitutional rights.

Were You Arrested?
A person is under arrest at any time that one reasonably believes
he or she is not free to leave the custody of the police.
This means that you may have been arrested for a criminal
or DWI / DUI offense whether you were or were not placed in handcuffs.
Many times the police will not inform you of your arrest for a criminal offense or
read you your rights. However, as long as you believed that you could not have
voluntary walk away from the police, without being placed in handcuffs,
you were placed under arrest.
Should I Speak With the Police?
If you have been arrested or believe you are about to face a criminal DUI charge,
DO NOT speak with the police. Anything you say, write or do will be used against
you at the criminal trial. Whether or not you have hired a criminal or DWI / DUI lawyer,
the police cannot ask you any questions regarding the criminal or DWI / DUI case,
if you request your lawyer.
Do the Police Have to Read Me My Rights?
In every criminal or DWI / DUI case, after you have been arrested,
the police cannot ask you any questions unless you are read your Miranda Rights
and you fully understand those rights.
However, if the police never ask you any questions,
you are not entitled to have your rights read to you.
