Rights of the Accused

Criminal Defense Attorney Michigan
 If you’ve been accused of a violent crime in Michigan, you have important rights that you shouldn’t fail to invoke, including:

      You have the right to remain silent, and you should remain silent until you’ve consulted with a seasoned violent crimes attorney.

      You have the right to an attorney, and the sooner you reach out for skilled legal guidance, the better.

      You have the right to a speedy trial, which means you have the right to be tried for the crime levied against you within a reasonable amount of time, which can vary in accordance with the involved circumstances.  

      You have the right to due process, which means that Michigan law enforcement’s actions against you must be in accordance with the law. A prime example is the right against unlawful search and seizure. 

      You are also protected against double jeopardy, which means that you can’t be prosecuted for the same offense twice. 

      Additionally, the state cannot inflict any punishments upon you that are considered cruel and unusual.

 

Your attorney will skillfully endeavor to ensure that your legal rights are well protected throughout the legal process.
