What can I do if I was arrested for disorderly conduct but the police forgot to read me my Miranda rights?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Thanks to television and movies there is a big misconception about the Miranda warnings: when they need to be given and what the remedy is when they are not. Police do not have to read you Miranda warnings simply because you are placed under arrest. They only have to read you the Miranda warnings when you are placed under arrest AND they wish to interrogate you or ask you potentially incriminating questions. The purpose of Miranda is to protect a suspect from incriminating themselves. If the police extracted a confession or incriminating statements from you after not reading you your Miranda warnings when they should have, the remedy is not to dismiss the case but suppress the incriminating statements or keep those statements out of evidence. In other words, the prosecutor would not be able to use them or comment on them at trial. Remember a Miranda violation will never, ever invalidate an otherwise lawful arrest.

Can my husband be charged with domestic violence against my wishes if the violence was against me?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jennifer Leigh Gottschalk (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Richard Sparaco
In order for your husband to be convicted of the act of domestic violence, you will have to testify. You have a constitutional right not to testify, in so far as you also committed a criminal offense by initiating the fight by hitting him. I would caution you, though, that if this is not the first time you and your husband have fought and gotten the police involved, you are continuing to put yourself at risk. That is what the prosecutor and police are concerned about. Both you and your husband have a right to have a marriage that is free from physical violence. If you cannot achieve that, you should think about splitting up.

Can the DA charge me with a misdemeanor if there is only evidence to support a violation of a vehicle code infraction?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ross Scaccia (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Ross Scaccia, Attorney at Law
Yes, the District attorney can charge you with a 'cruelty to a juvenile' violation. The essential elements of the violation must be proved by the prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt. You would have to look at the statute and have a lawyer determine if your action of leaving the child unattended for the period of time you mention would, together with other facts, amount to a violation of the statute. Much would depend on how far you were from the child, the temperature, how the child was clothed, whether you could see the child from where you were, the age of the child, etc. The facts you present in your question, could result in a conviction. Apparently the police decided to charge you and the prosecution decided to proceed with your case. That does not mean, necessarily, that you would be convicted. A defense lawyer could view your actions as not sufficient to support a conviction, and could take your case to trial, where the judge would listen to the evidence presented and make a decision for or against you. Yes, a misdemeanor is generally punishable by a fine that can be of different amounts, and a jail sentence from 0 to 6 months.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
