WHEN DO I CALL AN ATTORNEY?

 

The typical warning states: You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.

 Miranda v. Arizona Add a description about this item

BUT I AM INNOCENT!

 The criminal justice system is a lot like fishing. When you fish with a net you often get fish that you are not trying to catch, ones that do not belong in the net. When you are fishing there are people who watch the net and throw the wrong fish back into the sea. Our justice system does not afford defendants the same protection as we give to fish. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system does not have a person who decides which fish are rightfully caught and which fish should be tossed back 

Defense Strategies

 For over twenty years, Shawn Mills has seen that the average defendant does not get an attorney who explains both the law and the case to them. They are often told to plead "guilty" without fanfare. We believe in client education and not client dictation. 

Who Can Arrest Me

 All law enforcement officers – such as police officers, county sheriff officers, investigators in a district attorney’s or an attorney general’s offices and highway patrol officers – can arrest you whether they are on or off duty, in most cases. A probation or parole officer also can arrest you. You can be arrested and taken into custody for drink and driving (DUI), assault, robbery, theft and property crimes. In many cases you will be eligible for bail.
