Eastern Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyer
Criminal charges, arrests and convictions are very serious trouble. Jail time, fines and a criminal record can ruin not only your day but also the rest of your life. A felony conviction can send you to jail for more than a year. Even some misdemeanor convictions can send you to jail for up to a year. A conviction for either a felony or a misdemeanor, even if you don't go to jail, will leave you with a criminal record that will follow you the rest of your life unless and until you are granted a pardon. But remember, you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt!

You Have the Right to Remain Silent — Use It!
The police are not kidding when they tell you, "anything you say can and will be used against you." They mean it! If the police have enough evidence to arrest you, they will — whether you talk to them or not. In most cases, there is nothing you could possibly say to the police that would stop them from arresting you if they have enough evidence for your arrest. Frequently, if the police do not have enough evidence to arrest you, they will want to talk with you to see if something you might say will give them the evidence they need to arrest you. So, don't talk to the police or other investigators!
You Have the Right to be Represented by a Lawyer.
Don't talk to the police or other investigators without your lawyer with you. If you talk to the police and they decide that you were not fully truthful when you talked to them, they could charge you with the crime of making a false statement. The best way to avoid this problem and protect yourself is to USE YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT until you have consulted with and retained criminal defense counsel to represent you. If you have already talked to the police, it is very important that you consult with and retain criminal defense counsel immediately to minimize any problems that may result.

You Have the Right to be Free From Unreasonable Searches and Seizures.
You do not have to consent to a search just because the police ask if they can search your home, your car, your office, or even your person. You have the right to refuse their request to search. Even if the police have a search warrant, you can and should politely but firmly tell them you object to their search. Don't consent to a police search!
Do Not Resist Arrest!
You cannot legally resist or interfere with a police arrest, even if you are innocent or know the police are arresting the wrong person. If you resist or interfere with a police arrest, you could be charged with the misdemeanor crime of resisting or interfering with an officer or worse, the felony crime of assault of an officer. Don’t resist or interfere with a police arrest!
