If you are convicted, there are also lasting repercussions of having a misdemeanor or felony conviction on your criminal record. This may affect employment opportunities as well as educational, housing and financial opportunities that you may have previously had.

DON'T GIVE A STATEMENT BEFORE YOU TALK TO AN ATTORNEY

Whether you are injured due to someone else's negligence or charged with a crime, don't give any statements until you have talked to an attorney.

Insurance companies are quick to tell you that you don't need an attorney. Often times, insurance companies will ask that you give a recorded statement soon after the accident. These statements will often times be used against you should you have to litigate the matter.

Like insurance companies, Law Enforcement will encourage you to give a statement after arrest. Know your rights. Police are simply encouraging you to incriminate yourself. You have a Fifth Amendment right not to speak to law enforcement and your silence cannot be used against you.
