Clients often ask our criminal defense attorneys if their criminal charges can be dismissed due to the police’s failure to inform them of their right to silence upon arrest. We all hear about Miranda rights on television, right? This Fifth Amendment right in the U.S. Constitution safeguards individuals from self-incrimination. It applies to all criminal […]

There was a day in the not too distant past where cell phones were exactly that – phones. You could use them to make calls and send messages. But that was pretty much it. Now, a cell phone is nothing short of a tiny computer, connecting you to the entire world and placing almost limitless […]

Usually, when someone tells you you’ve fallen for a classic line, it tends to be something that sounded really sincere after about four drinks. “Is it hot in here or is it just you?” or perhaps, “Didn’t I see you on the cover of Vogue?”. Or the not-so-classic “I lost my phone number… can I […]

In the previous article we shared an example of a recent case out of Canada where a young woman was sentenced to 7 […]

Welcome back. We’ve been talking about why it’s a terrible idea to run away from the cops (seriously, we can’t stress this enough – it’s a terrible idea!). In the previous article we talked about what police in Michigan do when you don’t follow an order to pull over, and why they do it. Next […]
