Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

Whether or not police need to read your Miranda right mainly hinges on if you are in "custody." - defined as whether a reasonable person would believe that they are free to leave. If there is no Miranda violation your statement is admissible. The more important thing to look at is that you are under investigation. In my experience, some of the most effective work I can do for clients is before they are arrested or charged. I can sit down with the agents and prosecutors and figure out what the situation is all about. If this is something that you want to pursue and you are able to hire private counsel, give me a call. Note that you are not 'entitled' to have counsel appointed free of charge at this time; only after you are charged, and sometimes that's just too late.
