Every single citizen and legal resident of the U.S. is guaranteed certain rights under the United States Constitution (.pdf) – even if you have been accused, charged, or convicted you still retain those legal rights.

A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by 12 impartial jurors.  In addition, if your rights are violated at any time during your proceedings, the scales of justice often fall in your favor.  The United States’  justice system is unique in this aspect and you are lucky to be an American as the United States’ concern for fairness is a right that all Americans enjoy.

If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime, it is vital to consult with a trusted criminal attorney who has extensive experience protecting defendants’ rights.

Your Legal Rights

Individuals who have been accused or charged with a crime have various legal rights.  Here is a list of five rights that you need to exercise should you ever be accused of a crime:

• Right to an Attorney.  You have the right to obtain legal counsel. If an individual cannot afford an attorney, the court must appoint one at no cost.

• Right to a Jury Trial.  You have the right to a fair, public, and speedy trial.

• Right Against Self-Incrimination  You have the legal right to remain silent to prevent self-incrimination.

• Right to Confront Witnesses.  You have the right to question and cross-examine every witness that testifies against you in trial.

• Right to Produce Evidence.  You may present your evidence to the court or file a motion requesting a subpoena to call forth all witnesses and evidence that could favorably determine the outcome of the case, at no cost.
