Gainesville Criminal Lawyers

When you are subjected to a traffic stop after you have been drinking or you are questioned as part of a law enforcement investigation, you need to be aware that you wield significant legal protections. Although you might have seen the police read suspects the Miranda warning on television, law enforcement officers have a strong incentive to discourage individuals from fully exercising their legal rights. In fact, law enforcement investigators often use lies and deception to trick people into answering questions based on the dishonest representation that “cooperation” constitutes the best option for improving their situation. To the contrary, the best defense when confronted by law enforcement is to forcibly and unambiguously assert your right to remain silent until your Gainesville criminal defense lawyers are present to protect you from overzealous and unlawful police practices.
