When people are arrested, police often have the right to search them. This right is based on the police's reasonable presumption that a person is carrying a weapon or contraband. 

However, the search must be part of a valid police arrest procedure. If the search occurs before the arrest procedure or during an invalid arrest procedure, then any evidence obtained from the search may not be admissable at trial. 

If you or anyone you know has been arrested and has questions about the performed search, contact the Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers of William Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-888-2222.

When people are arrested, they are often unsure how to respond. Some people believe they should be honest with officers, while others believe it is best to be silent. 

Usually the best strategy depends on the facts and circumstances. However, anyone who is arrested should cooperate with officers. People who try to resist arrest are often treated more harshly and could incur additional penalties.

Unlike other crimes, most federal crimes carry mandatory sentences. For this reason, defendants cannot always work with prosecutors and judges to receive a plea bargain.

Because many of these federal cases go to trial, prosecutors and investigators will spend ample time and resources gathering evidence. The evidence gathering process may even begin before the defendant is charged. 

As a result, individuals are best served if they hire an attorney even before they are charged with the crime. If you or anyone you know is under investigation for a federal crime, contact the Las Vegas criminal attorneys of William Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-888-2222.

Many people have heard various strategies for getting out of a traffic ticket. Many of these strategies may work in some circumstances but not in others. However, one strategy that most drivers should follow is to cooperate with the officer. 

Even if the officer does not let a person off, cooperation is advantageous for many other reasons. For instance, if a person does not cooperate and tries to get away from the cop, then this chase could result in an accident that seriously hurts the officer, driver, or another driver. 

Also, failing to cooperate may lead to additional charges for the driver. If you or anyone you know has been charged with a traffic-related crime, contact the Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers of William Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-888-2222.
