How do my constitutional rights affect criminal court proceedings?
The U.S. Constitution provides Americans with protection in a number of ways. For example, defendants and the accused are offered protection from unreasonable search and seizure, and are given the right to legal counsel, to refuse to testify against themselves, to a trial by jury, and to confront their accusers. All of these matters will directly affect a criminal case and the court process. It is the job of a criminal defense attorney to ensure these rights are upheld every single step of the way.
