Criminal Defense
The first thing you need to do when you freedom, your future and your reputation
are on the line is to remember the very basic fact that you do have rights and you
do not have to be intimidated. It is in your best interest to contact a Wichita
criminal defense lawyer right away to ensure that your rights are fully protected.
At the Kenneth M. Clark P.A. Law Firm we will not allow you to be intimidated and
we stand ready to vigorously defend you against criminal charges. You do not
have to face this battle alone; our firm can help. If you have been charged with a
crime or if you are being investigated for a crime, you are probably asking
yourself some of the following questions:
Q. If I am convicted, what kind of penalties am I facing?
A. That all depends on the crime as well as the circumstances of the crime you
are being accused of. Misdemeanor crimes seldom result in significant jail time
but you may be facing heavy fines as well as a permanent criminal record. Tough
judges can impose the maximum penalties, which can be up to a year in jail in
some criminal cases. Felony convictions for crimes such as drug charges or
domestic violence are very serious and you may be facing a lengthy prison
sentence along with the possibility of fines and a long probation. A criminal record
for a felony conviction can make it very difficult to get a job or even find a place to
live. While juvenile crimes are often considered less serious, don't be fooled. A
conviction for a juvenile crime can impact the rest of your life. Not only might you
be facing incarceration, but college and career plans could be destroyed in a
conviction.
Q. At what point do I need to hire an attorney?
A. If you have been charged with any crime, you need to hire a skilled and proven
attorney from our firm as soon as you can. Timing is critical when it comes to the
law and the criminal justice process. There are court imposed deadlines that
must be followed for a number of issues and the sooner that you involve our firm,
the sooner we can make sure that your rights are aggressively protected and the
sooner we can develop a strategic defense.
Q. Do I have to allow the police to search my home or my car?
A. No, not unless the police have a search warrant. You do not have to consent to
a search by the police in fact; even if they threaten to hold you until they obtain a
search warrant, it is rarely a good idea to consent to a search. If they do obtain a
search warrant, our energetic and knowledgeable legal team will investigate how
they obtained the warrant. If your rights were violated in any way we may be able
to have any evidence found in the search thrown out.
Q. If I refuse to answer questions or give a statement about any crime, can I
be charged as a result of my refusal?
A. As per the Fifth Amendment, you have the right to not say anything that might
incriminate you. The police may try to convince you that not cooperating will lead
to more severe consequences later, but they are not really concerned about your
best interests. On the other hand, our firm is totally committed to fighting for your
rights and interests, and we will stand up to the police and fight for you. Even if
they promise leniency, keep in mind that the police are allowed to lie when they
are trying to get you to make incriminating statements. Law enforcement and the
prosecution will do everything they can to build their case against you. The best
way to make sure that your rights are fully protected is to have accomplished
defense attorney from our firm by your side.
Q. If I am arrested, do the police have to read me my Miranda rights?
A. That depends on your specific case. Miranda rights must be read to you if any
statement you make is to be used in the case being built against you. If the case
against you is strong enough that no statement from you is necessary, the police
do not have to read you your rights. In any event, it is advisable not to speak to
anyone, including friends or family, until consulting our firm. In a serious criminal
case, it is possible that your phones are being monitored.
Q. Can I talk to my friends and family about what happened?
A. No, it is not advisable. In general, anything you say to another person is not
privileged meaning that it may possibly be used against you. Any communication
with our firm is privileged and we will work with you to protect your rights and your
future. With our firm, you can trust in integrity, commitment and results.
