False Confessions
If you are accused of a crime and are in police custody – even if you have not been arrested – you have the right to not incriminate yourself as stated in the 5th amendment. Upon being brought in for questioning, law enforcement must inform you of this right by reading you your Miranda rights which state, “You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.”
Your Confession May Have Been Illegally Obtained
Failure to read a suspect their Miranda rights can lead to a confession being taken falsely. Attorney David West has the skill and experience to investigate your case to determine if any of your rights were violated in obtaining your confession. If any of your rights were violated, your confession may be judged inadmissible evidence, and may not be used against you.
You Need an Attorney if you are Questioned by Police
Because it is very important to protect your rights when facing a criminal charge, if you are brought in for questioning by law enforcement, it is crucial to have an attorney present who can fight to protect you from damaging police interrogations.
