Know Your Rights
As a person charged with a criminal offense, you have Constitutional Rights.
Do NOT panic!
Here are two basic rules of practice:
First Rule:
- DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR CASE!! The less a person says about his/her situation the better.
- DO NOT TALK with any Investigator or Officer without an ATTORNEY under any circumstances!!
Second Rule:
- CONTACT an Attorney ASAP!!
- There is no substitute for an Attorney who is an Experienced Criminal Defense Specialist.
- Early consultation with Silverstein & Mattson, P.A. can generate the preservation of potentially important defense evidence, opportunities to reduce sentence exposure, and the prompt use of private services, e.g., Investigator, Treatment Providers, Media Consultants, etc.
