What to expect if you are arrested
To begin with, you do have the right to an attorney (legal representation), whether the attorney is an appointed public defender or you hire an aggressive and experienced attorney/firm such as Criminal Defense Associates to represent you. It's your choice. Be aware that the law contains a seemingly infinite number of loopholes. The right to a fair and speedy trial and the right to be provided a specific statement of the charges are two other very important rights of a defendant.

Your constitutional rights include:

• Right to a Lawyer
• Right to Cross Examine and Confront Witnesses
• Right to Testify on One's Own Behalf
• Right to Remain Silent
• Right to Speedy Trial
• Right to Use Courts Subpoena Power to Compel Witnesses to Testify
• Right to a Jury Trial (in Most Cases)
• Presumption of Innocence
