If you are under investigation or arrested and charged with a crime, you probably have a lot of questions.
What should I do if the police want to question me?
You have the right to remain silent. You should use it.
You are not required to answer police questions without a lawyer present—and you shouldn’t. Even if you want to try to explain yourself, it is more likely that you will say something that can (and will) be used against you later. Tell police that you respectfully decline to speak to them until you can speak with your attorney.
Can the police search my home or car without a warrant?
Warrantless search are not allowed. However, there are exceptions. For example, when you give consent, when evidence is in plain view, or during certain emergencies. Vehicle searches have additional exceptions, especially if the officer claims to smell drugs or see other contraband. Consult with an attorney at Mevis Kelley law if you think you were searchedd without a warrant or proper exception and we can discuss ways to suppress (exclude) that evidence from your case.
We offer comprehensive legal representation tailored to your unique situation. Our attorneys will guide you through every step of the legal process, ensuring you understand your rights and options.
Trust us to fight tirelessly for the best possible outcome in your case.
