Bronx Driving Under the Influence of Drugs Lawyers.

Being stopped, searched, arrested and charged with driving under the influence of drugs has put you in an especially difficult situation. It is important to keep in mind that the entire process you are being put through is designed to intimidate you; you are being pressured, and you will be coaxed to do the very thing you shouldn't: incriminate yourself. The best way to avoid the latter is to answer the questions put to you with the demand for an attorney. At that point, the interview will stop and you will be allowed to retain counsel before saying anything further.

Your Rights in Custody

It is essential that the lawyer you work with be one with considerable expertise and experience in defending individuals in your situation. You do not lose your right to say nothing that might incriminate you just because the authorities believe you have committed a crime. Believing something and proving it are two different things. And the criminal justice in this country is governed on the principle that every person is assumed innocent until proven guilty.

Police and prosecutors do not necessarily have the evidence they claim they do. When you are in custody, they are in a position of power over you and they know it; they will try everything they can think of to get you to confess to something you did not do. There is no reason for you to bend to such pressure. An attorney who specializes in these kinds of cases can give you a fighting chance to beat the charge against you.
