At Ben Hall Law, your freedom and future are our priority.
If you are arrested for a crime in Michigan, you have several legal rights that are protected under both the United States Constitution and Michigan state law. It is essential to be aware of these rights to ensure they are upheld during the arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.
Your rights after being arrested in Michigan include:
You have the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. You should be informed of this right by law enforcement through Miranda warnings, typically stated as “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
One of the most critical components to your case’s success is to invoke this crucial right so you do not say anything — no matter how harmless you believe the statement may be — that will harm the integrity of your defense.
Invoking your right to speak with an attorney should be the only time you break your silence. You can request an attorney during the arrest or questioning process. Law enforcement may not ask you any additional questions after asking for an attorney. It is the second-best way — outside of remaining silent other than to make the request — to protect your case.
You are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment. Law enforcement generally needs a warrant or probable cause to search or seize property.
You have the right to be informed of the charges against you. Law enforcement should provide you with this information, and you should receive a copy of the charging document, complaint, or warrant.
You have the right to due process, which includes the right to a fair hearing and legal procedures. This protects you from arbitrary or unfair treatment.
In many cases, you have the right to request bail, which allows you to be released from custody while your case is pending. The court determines the amount and conditions of bail.
You have additional rights as your case proceeds, assuming our Lansing criminal defense attorney cannot provide immediate legal solutions for your case. You will be advised of your rights and how they apply to your unique legal circumstances during your defense.
At Ben Hall Law, we know that facing the Michigan judicial system alone compromises your personal and professional future from the start of your case. While the prosecutor’s office may be overwhelmed with thousands of cases, they will not offer a plea for lesser charges or dismiss your case when they know they cannot win without being pressured by a skilled criminal defense lawyer.
Our Lansing criminal defense attorneys give each client every tool in our arsenal to ensure we leave no detail to chance so that we can pursue the best outcome for their unique cases together.
Facing criminal charges can be emotionally and mentally challenging. Our Lansing criminal defense lawyers provide guidance, support, and reassurance throughout the legal process, helping you make informed decisions about the direction of your case.
