Know Your Rights: Protect Yourself in a Criminal Case

  1. Right to Remain Silent
    You have the right to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination. If questioned by law enforcement, politely decline to answer until you have an attorney present.  Understand that it is critical that you must clearly state that you wish to remain silent; merely remaining silent can be used against you.

  2. Right to Legal Representation
    You are entitled to legal counsel at every stage of the criminal process. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney ensures your rights are protected and your case is handled properly.

  3. Right to Be Free from Unlawful Searches and Seizures
    The Fourth Amendment protects you from illegal searches and seizures. Law enforcement must have a valid warrant or probable cause to search your property or seize evidence.

  4. Right to a Fair Trial
    You are guaranteed the right to a fair and public trial. This includes the right to confront witnesses, present evidence, and have a jury determine your guilt or innocence.

  5. Right to Due Process
    The legal system must follow proper procedures and respect your constitutional rights throughout your case, from arrest to trial and sentencing.

Why It Matters
Knowing your rights helps prevent law enforcement or the prosecution from taking advantage of your lack of legal knowledge. Attorney Michael H. Gibson is here to ensure your rights are upheld, providing skilled legal representation to guide you through every step of the criminal justice process.
