How do I know if I need an attorney?
If you face the possibility of being accused of a crime, contact an experienced
criminal-defense lawyer as early in the process as possible, preferably even before
questioning or investigation. A skilled attorney can fight for your legal and
constitutional rights. Remember that if you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, the
government may have to provide one for you.

What is “due process”?
The U.S. Constitution requires that criminal defendants be accorded due process of
law in all proceedings against them. Generally this means that throughout the
criminal process the rules of criminal procedure must be observed with all
constitutional protections in place. Due process requires such things as reasonable
notice of proceedings and fair hearings when facing serious negative consequences,
such as prison.

courthouse square; we are above the Common Grounds Espresso Bar.

What are my Miranda Rights?

1. You have the right to remain silent.
2. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used
   against you in a court of law.
3. You have the right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present
   during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to
   you.
4. You may invoke these rights at any time, and refuse to answer questions and
   request an attorney.

What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?
A misdemeanor is a crime where the maximum sentence is less than one year in a
local jail. The process is less formal and cases are resolved more quickly. A felony is
a serious crime where the sentence can be more than one year in state prison.
Convicted felons may face many other consequences.
