If You Are a Suspect or Are Charged With a Crime
If you have been charged with a crime in Oklahoma or if you think you may become a suspect or a “person of interest” in a crime, contact our Tulsa, Oklahoma criminal defense attorneys immediately! Police officers and prosecutors rely upon the fact that many people waive their valuable constitutional rights by speaking to them before speaking to a criminal defense attorney. Do not make the mistake of waiving your Oklahoma and federal constitutional rights! Regardless of what police or prosecutors may say, they are NOT looking out for your best interests. The sooner you hire an Oklahoma criminal defense attorney to represent you, the sooner your defense attorney can start fighting for your rights and zealously representing your interests. When you hire an Oklahoma criminal defense firm to represent you, neither police nor prosecutors can communicate with you without your criminal defense lawyer being present; this prevents the government from eliciting incriminating statements from you and prevents you from accidentally waiving important rights.
The Federal and Oklahoma State constitutions provide important safeguards to protect citizens against intrusive law enforcement practices and procedures. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article 2, Section 30 of the Oklahoma Constitution protect against unreasonable police searches and seizures. A person cannot be arrested and taken into police custody unless the officer has an arrest warrant or probable cause to believe that the person has committed or is committing a crime. The “probable cause” standard requires the police officer to be able to articulate facts that would cause a reasonable person to believe that the suspect has committed or is committing a crime. Under Oklahoma law, a person cannot be arrested for a misdemeanor unless the offense was committed in the presence of the officer or the officer has an arrest warrant. If you are detained or arrested by law enforcement authorities, politely assert your right to consult with an attorney before any police questioning. DO NOT make a statement to the police to try and “explain” the situation. You have the right to remain silent. Use it! Important legal rights may be lost or waived if you simply speak to the police and fail to request an attorney at the earliest point in the criminal process.
We can represent you if you are charged with a felony, misdemeanor, DUI, DWI, or a municipal charge. No matter what Oklahoma criminal charges you or a loved one are facing, it is critical that you consult an Oklahoma criminal defense lawyer as early as possible in your case and especially before talking to the police or the district attorney’s office. Contact Tulsa criminal lawyer Rob Henson to discuss your case now.
