Criminal Lawyers in Howard County
Often, an arrest happens at the scene of a crime. The police are called and you end up in the back of a squad car. But in some situations, you are arrested after a lengthy investigation and an arrest warrant is taken out. Regardless of how the arrest happens or what you have been charged with, you are entitled to protection under the law. Your Constitutional rights are there to protect you from unfair treatment and a criminal defense lawyer in Howard County will ensure those rights are respected.
One of your rights, the right to remain silent and abstain from self-incrimination, should be invoked soon after your arrest. The police may seem friendly, but they are working to build a case against you. You may be tempted to “tell them everything,” but it is almost always in your best interest to keep quiet. Even if you do want to tell investigators your side of the story, it is often a good idea to do so after consulting with your attorney.
Simply telling the police you wish to speak with an attorney should stop their questioning altogether. Also, many people don’t understand this right is present before the police tell you about it. So, if you are being questioned and they haven’t advised you of your Miranda Rights, you can still refuse to answer their questions.
Understanding the depth of your case and all the variables present comes with years of experience. Our attorneys understand what you’re going through and know the best ways to represent you regardless of the charge. Regardless of whether you are facing a drug charge or a robbery charge, our experienced team can provide you assistance.
