How Can You Protect Your Rights?
Simply being questioned does not constitute an arrest, so ask the police if you are actually being arrested. If you are being arrested, always remember that anything you say or do will be used against you in court. The best thing to do is say nothing, or as little as possible. Do not agree to be questioned without an attorney present. A KKC defense attorney can advise you on what you should or should not say or do.
If you’re facing a criminal charge, we recommend you seek legal counsel, even if you decide not to hire a lawyer. A free consultation with one of our criminal attorneys will help you understand the charges against you. We’ll explain what defenses are available, any possibilities for a plea bargain, and what the next steps would be if you are convicted. We are very familiar with the various diversionary programs which, in many cases, not only allow us to obtain a dismissal of our client’s criminal charges, but also the erasure of all public records of arrest and prosecution. Having legal representation increases your chances of having a positive outcome in your case.

What Our Clients Say
Attorney Willis had great reviews and they were right on. My initial consultation left me feeling that he would be the right choice. He listened and explained things in a way that were easy to understand. He’s down to earth, responds quickly, clearly and does what he says he’s going to do. Our case was like a maze and he went beyond helping and guiding us. We would have been lost without him. So glad we found him.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I hire an attorney if I have been charged with a crime?
It is very important that you do everything you can to protect your rights if you have been charged or are under investigation for a crime. If you are convicted, you could face very serious consequences, depending upon the situation that you find yourself in. With the help of an experienced attorney, your chances of receiving a positive outcome in your case will be greatly increased. While no attorney can guarantee results, individuals who have the legal assistance of a lawyer have a better chance at getting the outcome they desire.
Should I speak to the Police if I have been arrested?
It is paramount that your rights are protected after you have been arrested. You do not need to say anything to the police except that you want an attorney. You must always remember that anything you say or do can be used against you in a court of law. The police will not hesitate to use your own words or actions against you, and potentially twist them in a way that favors their position. You have legal rights and you need to do everything in your power to ensure that they are upheld throughout the entire criminal process.
What should I do to protect my rights after I have been arrested?
It is so important to remember that you do not have to answer questions by the police or other law enforcement agents. In fact, you should remain silent and demand an attorney no matter what they say or do. Do not agree to be questioned without your attorney present and do not fall for tactics designed merely to get you to talk. At Kahan, Kerensky and Capossela we understands how difficult it can be for someone who was just arrested.
