The Right to an Attorney

If you have been accused of a crime, the most important words you may ever hear, : 

  "you have the right to an attorney"

The sixth Amendment to our constitution provides, In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the assistance of counsel for his [her] defense.  Our law also provides, any person detained by, or in the custody of, law enforcement shall have the right to remain silent and have an attorney present during questioning.

Should you cooperate with law enforcement?

Should you consent to a search?

Are officers allowed to lie?

Should you negotiate with prosecutors?

Should you request a jury trial?
                    
Only a qualified criminal defense attorney can properly answer these questions.
