Criminal Defense Lawyer 

If you have ever committed a crime you are still entitled to your day in court.  If you have never been arrested before on a criminal offense you will want to know exactly what your rights are as you are being arrested, booked, and during the courtroom process. If you have been arrested before for a criminal offense you are still granted the same right to trial by your peers.

There are many questions that you will want the answers to.  Are you being simply detained or arrested?  If you have been arrested did the police read you your Miranda rights?  Were you properly informed of the charges that were placed against you?

There are many little things that need to be looked into if you are ever arrested and charged with a criminal offense.  Depending upon what state you are charged in there will be different ways of doing things.  You could simply be cited for a criminal offense, or  you could be arrested and processed into jail by a pretrial officer or bail could be set by a night court.  These are just a few scenarios.

When you are charged with a criminal offense you always have the right to have an attorney present.  Whether you can afford an attorney or not.  When you request an attorney questioning by police should stop and one should be contacted for you.
