Charged with a Crime? What You Need to Know

Miranda warnings are not just something that you see on television or in the movies. They are real, and they are vital to the rights and the freedom of the accused. From the moment you are contacted by the police, regardless of what they say to you, anything you say may be used against you. The moment that you need a criminal lawyer is not when charges are filed, but when you are contacted by the police or any other law enforcement agency. Under no circumstances, no matter what is said, promised or threatened by the police, are you to say anything without contacting competent legal counsel.

In order to protect yourself and your freedom, it is vital that you know what to say or do when you are charged with a crime or questioned in a criminal matter. Follow the links below to learn important information about what to do in the wake of your arrest:
