Criminal Law - Conkle, Ellis, Fergus, and MacDowell

    Being charged with a criminal offense, whether it be a felony or a misdemeanor, is a traumatic experience. Anyone who has been through that ordeal can attest to the fact that if ever there is a time when a strong advocate is necessary, a criminal trial is such a time.
    For someone who has been charged with a criminal offense, it is important to remember that everyone has the rights that are guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the constitution of the state where the case is being prosecuted.
     These rights include the right to counsel, the right to remain silent, and the protections against self-incrimination.

Law enforcement personnel apprehend alleged offenders in upholding the law of the land, but in doing so they also must respect the law of the land. Prosecutors represent the interests of society in presenting evidence against alleged criminal offenders, but in doing so, prosecutors must comply with codes of ethics and respect the rights of the accused, including the presumption of innocence.
