Understanding your legal rights

1. Do not talk with anyone from Law Enforcement. Not answering a police officer’s questions is your Constitutional right.
2. Do not agree to any search, or turn over anything to Law Enforcement.
3. Do not talk about your case with your family, friends, or anyone in jail. What you tell them can, and probably will be used against you.
4. Do not represent yourself. The Prosecutor on your case is a very experienced attorney who knows the law better than you do.
5. Do not go to court without first talking to an attorney who specializes in criminal law.
6. Talk with your attorney and tell the attorney everything about your case. What you tell your attorney is confidential and cannot be used against you.
7. Identify and find any possible witnesses that may have information which is favorable to you.
8. Do not sign anything without talking to your lawyer.
9. DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY, without first speaking with your lawyer!
10. Before your court date, come into our office for your initial confidential consultation.
