The Right to Remain Silent – Part 1 of 2

Most every criminal case I evaluate for potential appellate issues involves a defendant making a statement – either an admission, a confession, or a comment that is later manipulated to making the speaker look guilty.  Despite giving warning after warning to clients, they still – in the moment when it counts most – ignore the sage advice of the experienced criminal defense attorney, and instead speak for themselves, thinking they control the narrative.  Well, they do not.  So please, take a moment now to commit to yourself to always first seek the advice of competent criminal defense counsel before even thinking about answering any questions whatsoever posed by law enforcement or a prosecutor.  It can mean the difference between your freedom and suffering the fate of the wrongfully convicted.

If you have a family member or friend who is facing charges, or if you are a lawyer seeking assistance with an appeal or post-conviction matter, please call this office immediately.  There are always time deadlines limiting when these claims can be raised.  If you wish to learn more about the process, call now.

Jonathan Laurans wants you to be educated as to what you may be facing.  If you or a loved one has been convicted of a crime in Missouri, Kansas or Texas, or in any federal court, contact him immediately.  Visit his website at www.kansascitymoattorney.com and then call him at (816) 421-5200 for a FREE initial legal consultation.
