Your Rights

In addition to the constitutional right to an attorney, a defendant has other rights, including, but not limited to:

• The right against self-incrimination (the right to remain silent)
• The right to a trial by jury
• The right to compel witnesses to testify on your behalf
• The right to confront your accuser
• The right to force the State to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt
• The right to appeal either your conviction, your sentence, or both

Because the facts, law, and circumstances of each case vary, it is important for persons in need of an attorney to meet individually with our office to obtain specific information. The information contained in this web site is no substitute for individual consultation.
