The Importance of Retaining a Leesburg Criminal Attorney

Understanding the dangers of talking to police without speaking to a criminal lawyer first

We have all seen the movies and TV shows where the police advise a person under arrest of his right to remain silent. Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Miranda case, Americans do have that right, along with the right to consult with an attorney before answering any questions. In real life, it is amazing how many people, after being advised of their rights, ignore them and go right ahead and talk to the police without first talking to a criminal lawyer.

If the police are arresting you, or suspect that you might have committed a crime, your freedom and liberty are at stake. When they ask you a question, you need to consider the consequences. Only an attorney experienced in criminal defense can quickly and accurately assess whether it is in your interest to cooperate and answer questions that might incriminate you.

In Northern Virginia and Loudoun County, an attorney who was formerly a prosecutor is best equipped to protect your rights. This is why Simms Showers LLP's Leesburg criminal defense law firm should be your first phone call when you are arrested or suspected of committing a crime.
