Know Your Rights When Facing Criminal Charges

Arrested or Under Investigation? We’re Here to Help

There are few things in life more frightening than being investigated or charged with a crime. Police officers and prosecutors often seem to have all the power and the language that they use can often seem foreign and confusing. Even if you have a fundamental understanding of your rights, you can quickly feel like the deck is stacked against you. When you are involved in any type of criminal investigation or proceeding, you want an aggressive and experienced attorney on your side. The Loftin Firm can help.

A Strong Voice to Protect Your Constitutional Rights

Our founding fathers included the potential for abuse of the criminal laws. That’s why they included basic rights and freedoms into the U.S. Constitution to protect you. At The Loftin Firm, we are committed to ensuring that those constitutional safeguards are followed and you are protected. Police do not get to search whatever they want, ask whatever they want and take anything they want. That’s not reasonable under the 4th or 5th amendments.

When you hire us to defend you in any criminal matter, we’ll be at your side throughout the process, whether you’re merely a suspect or the police have detained and arrested you. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your case, looking carefully at how law enforcement officers obtained evidence. We’ll evaluate whether there was probable cause for any search, seizure or arrest, as set forth in the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We’ll also confirm whether you were properly notified of your rights if taken into custody. Violations of your basic rights, with police taking illegally obtained evidence can warrant reducing or dismissing charges against you for lack of admissible evidence.

We will scrutinize police reports, interview all potential witnesses, and examine all physical evidence—so that we can fully defend you.
