Our Own Criminal Defense Highlight

Here at the Law Office of Veronica R. Guzman, we like to highlight our work on our real life criminal defense cases. Here is a statement from a thankful family on a case in which our hard work was accomplished behind the scenes.

Know Your Rights and Be Smart

NEVER consent to a search. Not of your car. Not of your home. Not of your friend's apartment. Not of your person. NEVER.

NEVER resist a police officer by physically struggling or pushing away. Physical resistance is always illegal.  

NEVER (when you are a suspect) give statements to the police. Never sign anything. Just do not talk to the police at all, except to say "My lawyer has advised me not to answer any questions." Ask to see your attorney. Exception: You must provide the police with your legal name, date of birth, and address for identification purposes.

NEVER under any circumstances argue with a police officer if you have been drinking. That's a guaranteed trip to jail.
