Right To an attorney & Legal RepresentationBill of RightsThe Sixth Amendment to the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States of America provides:
Miranda RightsThe United States Supreme Court effected law in 1966 mandating that all people be duly informed of their constitutional rights to ensure that every person whose liberties will be restricted is aware of their rights protected under the Constitution of the United States of America. That case (Miranda vs. Arizona) is the namesake for what has come to be known as Miranda warnings or Miranda rights. Notification is the process by which you are informed of your rights such as when they are read to you. Miranda rights do not give you rights; rather, the Constitution gives you rights; Miranda warnings simply advise you of those rights in a neat succulent statement. You have those constitutional rights whether or not you are advised of them. [Miranda Rights - Right To Remain Silent] The Right To Legal CounselAs a citizen of the United States, you have a right to legal counsel if your life, liberty or freedom are at risk. That right is provided in the Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. A Miranda warning must include a statement to the effect that you have a right to have an attorney present, and to have one appointed to you if you cannot afford one. Attorneys that are appointed are called public defenders. A public defender is appointed in situations in which the defendant is indigent or impoverished according to state (or federal) guidelines. If the defendant is not impoverished, an attorney may still be appointed, but the defendant will be ordered by the court to pay that attorney. Invoking Your Right to An AttorneyTo invoke your right to an attorney, all you need to do is ask for one. You can remain silent, or speak your mind, but the moment that you ask for an attorney, all interrogations should stop and not begin again until your attorney is present. You can invoke your right to have an attorney present during questioning that occurs before or preliminary to an arrest, as well as before or after you have been informed of your Miranda rights.
