You have the right to remain silent" and "You have the right to an attorney." Many people are aware of these phrases from movies and television shows. But did you know these constitutional rights must be asserted? That means if you are being questioned by law enforcement, you must stay silent and/or say out loud "I would like an attorney." If neither of these things are done at the time of questioning, and law enforcement has advised you of your rights (known as a Miranda warning), then you have waived these rights until you assert them.
Navigating the law is tricky. If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, we are here to help. DO NOT waive your constitutional rights without seeking the advice of counsel.
