Do I really need a Criminal Defense Attorney?
Being accused of a crime will affect the rest of your life. It will affect job prospects, your ability to rent a home or apartment, future licenses you may wish to obtain, future security clearances, your ability to carry a firearm, your ability to vote, and more. Handling a criminal charge without an attorney is one of the biggest mistakes people make and they spend their entire lives regretting that decision. For professionals who already hold a license, the stakes are even higher and criminal accusations can cause teachers, healthcare professionals, attorneys, military, law enforcement, even real estate and insurance brokers, to lose their license and destroy their career. Hiring a competent and experienced defense attorney is a crucial and necessary step if you’ve been charged with a crime. Call Jennifer Meksraitis at (813) 600-3197 for a free consultation.
What do I do if I’ve been arrested?
Remain silent. It is not only your right, it is your duty to avoid any self-incrimination. Often times people believe they can talk their way out of a bad situation not realizing that they are likely making things worse. Invoke your right to an attorney and say nothing more. You may make admissions that can have devastating consequences, particularly when a police officer makes you feel like they’re your friend and on your side. Law enforcement will use anything you say to support their arrest.
Consult an attorney immediately. In almost every criminal case, and especially in DUI cases, time is of the essence. For example, in a DUI case, you could potentially lose your driving privileges if you don’t take the correct action within 10 days of your arrest. Hiring an attorney immediately after arrest is an important step in protecting your rights, your privileges, and your future. Contact Jennifer Meksraitis at Heights Injury Law for a free consultation to avoid making costly and life-altering mistakes when facing a DUI or any other criminal charge.
