In this country, we are presumed innocent until proven guilty - the presumption of innocence. In order to ensure this presumption, the United States and Ohio Constitutions guarantee a person’s right to remain silent and the right to defense counsel in a criminal trial and interrogation.
Everyone in this country is entitled to a competent defense and to be tried by a jury of his or her peers. Having a criminal defense attorney ensures that the prosecution must prove each and every element of the charged criminal offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, anyone charged with, accused of or possibly accused of a crime in the future, must contact a competent criminal defense attorney immediately.

Do Not Speak To Police Until You Have a Criminal Defense Attorney Present
If you’ve been accused of a crime, do not communicate or make any written or oral statements to anyone until you first call a criminal defense attorney. Never make any statements to the police or investigatory officers, especially during a custodial interrogation (i.e., while in custody of the police) without an attorney present, But Always Be Polite. These critical times are when you need to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to ensure that your constitutional rights are being protected.
Most of the time, statements made by the accused without legal representation are used against them in their criminal case. This is why people need the protection of a criminal defense attorney at all times. The Law Office of R. Joshua Brown has over 35 years of experience handling criminal cases.
