DEFENDANT'S RIGHTS
If you have been charged with a crime in state or federal court, it is vital that you contact a highly competent defense lawyer as soon as possible. Certain vital constitutional rights and pre-trial rights need to be preserved in the first 24 hours after arrest. Many cases are made or broken because of the quick response of the defense lawyer. Therefore, the sooner you are represented by counsel, the better your chances of successfully resolving criminal charges will be.
Since its inception, the United States has been unique in its concern for fairness and justice in the legal process. Every single citizen and legal resident of the U.S. is guaranteed certain rights under the Constitution. Even those accused, charged, or convicted of a criminal offense still retain legal rights.
In the event that these rights are violated at any point in the proceedings from the arrest to the trial the outcome of a criminal case can, and usually will, change often in favor of the defendant.
If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime, it is vital to consult with a trusted criminal attorney who has extensive experience protecting defendants rights.
