Criminal Defense

Fighting to protect your constitutional rights

Selecting an attorney is one of the most crucial decisions that you can make. At The Nichols Law Firm, PLLC we understand that and we will help you select the attorney with whom you are the most comfortable, whether it is with our firm or with another firm. You should ask yourself whether the attorney has overrepresented the likely result for you or whether what you hear from the attorney makes sense when you think about the facts and circumstances in your particular case.

At The Nichols Law Firm, PLLC, we fight hard for people who face criminal charges. Our firm is known for handling complex criminal matters. If you or a loved one has been accused of a crime, call The Nichols Law Firm, PLLC.

Your Right to Remain Silent

Even if you have not been read your rights, you have a right to remain silent. If the police arrest or investigate you, using this right is your best option against incriminating yourself. Even if you have not been warned that what you say can be used against you, it still can. Therefore, if you are under arrest, your best option is to not tell the police anything or sign any statements until you talk to a lawyer.

Once you retain us, we get started right away.
