In the United States, all citizens have certain protections and rights under the Constitution. Most people won’t likely be in a position where these rights are in question. However, if you become involved in a legal battle, you may face these challenges and questions. It is not unheard of for accused criminals to be treated unfairly. If you have been arrested, are on trial or find yourself at any stage of the criminal justice process, be aware of your rights and what to do if you believe they have been compromised.
Problems with Your Arrest
You’ve no doubt seen movies and television shows that depict arresting officers hauling away a suspecting criminal in handcuffs, reading that person his or her rights. These Miranda rights spell out what this individual is entitled to at this time. This includes the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. If the officer fails to read these rights or does not honor them, you could have a valid case to argue that your rights were violated.
Problems With Questioning
At the police station, investigators will meet with you to discuss the circumstances that lead to your arrest. In this series of questions, you are allowed to have your attorney with you. Your lawyer may advise you to not answer certain questions. If you are denied this opportunity, your rights have been violated.
Problems at Your trial
You are entitled to a fair trial. Your rights may be violated if you are denied legal counsel or if you believe the jury is not composed of unbiased peers.
Where to Turn for Help
If at any time during your criminal case you believe your constitutional rights were not respected, talk to a criminal defense attorney, like from Morales Law Firm, right away. Your attorney has the knowledge and training to take the right steps to fight for your interests.

Your attorney will review the matter and walk you through the right steps in this process.
Your lawyer will take your rights and liberties seriously throughout your case. Even if you have committed a serious error, you should have every opportunity to defend yourself and receive fair and just treatment.

Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was facing a charge of Reckless Driving for speeding on I66 at midnight. This is considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor in the state of Virginia. Having something like Reckless Driving on your record is on par with having a DUI. This charge also carries a chance for jail time (up to a year). I was incredibly scared because I had never faced such a charge. And looking into Virginia Law, my speed exceeded 90mph, which is quite serious. I retained Dave Albo to help me with this case. Since my record was clean, Dave had advised I do the following before my trial. * Take a DMV Driver's Improvement Course * Take a Behavior Modification Course * Do 100 hours of community service * Print my DMV Record one week before the trial On the day of my trial, Dave got my Reckless Driving charge REDUCED to a regular Speeding charge. This was the absolute best case scenario for me. No criminal record. No jail time. No suspension of license. I did receive 6 demerit points and had to pay a fine of $250 (plus court fees). But that's a slap on the wrist, compared to what I could have been facing. Thank you Dave Albo for helping me through this ordeal!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave albo it's a fantastic lawyer.

Dave was my attorney recently for a car accident where I needed someone to represent me in court. After exchanging all necessary information he reassured me when the court date came that there wouldn’t be anything to worry about. On the day of court a couple problems arose and Dave was able to rectify them quickly, told me everything I need to say if needed and when it was all over he got my violation reduced significantly. I hope to never go to court again but if I do I will being calling Dave again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
