No matter what crime you are charged with, you will get the help you need. Attorney John Brinckman will start working on your case the moment he represents you. If you have been charged with a crime, or are being investigated, the situation may be overwhelming. You need an aggressive, experienced criminal defense attorney working for you immediately.

Before or after an arrest, hiring an attorney is the most important choice you will make. One thing you should avoid is hiring an attorney who practices a little in a lot of different areas. To effectively confront criminal charges, you need an attorney who focuses on criminal procedure and knows the issues involved.

Attorney Brinckman has extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal charges at every stage starting with the arrest. It is important that a person arrested invoke the right to have an attorney present before questioning. Do not try to answer police questions without an attorney present. You are undoubtedly nervous and police officers will likely misunderstand what you are trying to say. They will use what they think you said against you in court, even if you didn't say it.

No matter how guilty the perpetrator, no matter how hideous the act, if the process by which we Americans convict one of our own people seems to be unfair, the result is not justice. It is merely a conviction. Your attorney must stand up against all odds to defend your right to Due Process.

Justice Douglas, in a decision that saved the life of John Brady, said in language which has never been overruled even by the present Supreme Court:

"Society wins not only when the guilty are convicted but when criminal trials are fair; our system of the administration of justice suffers when any accused is treated unfairly."
