For any criminal scenario, it is very rare that going to the police station by yourself and without a lawyer to speak with an officer is a good idea. It is not a good idea. Though there are no absolutes in anything, DO NOT GO TO A POLICE STATION TO SPEAK WITH A POLICE OFFICER.

If you are contacted by a police officer and they wish to speak with you about something they think you may have done, politely tell them that you think it may be best if you had a lawyer. The biggest mistake we see people make over and over again is trusting, that if they go down and explain what happened, everything will be OK.

When you go and speak with a police officer, everything you say can and will be used against you. If you have come to them voluntarily and are free to leave, they probably do not even need to read you your Miranda rights.

Rather than doing that, call a lawyer. Any criminal defense lawyer. The Daniels Law Firm will be happy to speak with you.

Domestic Violence charges are unique in the sense that if police are called out on a DV charge, more than 9 times out of ten, someone will be arrested. Domestic Violence charges are very serious in many ways. A conviction affects your ability to possess a firearm, may impact you in a domestic relations case and carries with it an obligation to do many weeks of counselling, which classes are both a time and monetary obligation.

The Daniels law Firm handles many Domestic Violence charges. The DV label can be applied to any charge but typically, it is assault, harassment or criminal mischief. Many times there is a 911 call from someone. That call is many times the first step to domestic violence prosecution. Once the police arrive, they will try to assess the situation within minutes.

Anyone can get charged with a DUI. When charged with DUI, contacting an attorney as soon as possible is important. Typically, within seven days of the arrest, it is necessary to request a hearing with the DMV to preserve the ability to drive legally.

A DUI case has two separate and distinct battle fields. The first to usually arise after the dust settles following an arrest and release, is the fight with the DMV. That fight pertains to your driver's license. For many, that issue is paramount. The second fight is the Court case. There, at issue is everything from potential jail time to issues involving your license and the statutorily required alcohol evaluation and classes.

The Daniels Law Firm can help with any aspect of a DUI case. Whether it is the DMV hearing, the negotiation of an appropriate sentence or the trial of the case to a jury, the Daniels law Firm has done it many times before.

DUI cases are scary and expensive. Though the issue of whether to give blood, do a breath test or refuse altogether is something that changes on a case by case basis, the one thing that never changes, and the one thing to always remember is that no one, not even sober people, pass roadside tests. When the officer asks you to step out of the vehicle and asks you to perform a series of silly tests, do yourself a favor and politely decline. Those tests are the officer's attempt to try and build probable cause against you. In short, an officer must have REASONABLE SUSPICION to pull you over and PROBABLE CAUSE to arrest you. DO NOT make it easier for that officer performing tests that cannot be passed.
