Chicago criminal lawyer and DUI attorney Steven H. Fagan answers the question: I wasn’t read my Miranda rights – will my case be dismissed?

Believe it or not, this is one of the most common questions any criminal defense lawyer gets from clients. Whether facing felony or misdemeanor criminal or DUI charges in Illinois, people very often regret having made statements that they believe, often correctly, will hurt their case. Sometimes people make no statements to the police at all when arrested, but recall later that they weren’t read Miranda warnings.

Miranda rights, or more accurately, Miranda warnings, advise a person facing interrogation in an investigation for felony or misdemeanor criminal offense that they have certain rights. This applies to any Illinois criminal offense, whether in Chicago or anywhere else in Cook county, Lake county or DuPage county, just like it does throughout the country. The important Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment rights you are to be reminded of are that you have a right to consult an attorney before making any statements, and that you in fact have a right to remain silent. The warnings also let you know that anything you say can and will be used against you in Court by the prosecutor of your Illinois criminal case.

So if the police officer arresting you didn’t read you those Miranda warnings, can your case be dismissed because of that failure? The answer depends on the specific evidence in your criminal case. Watch the video to learn more about how your Miranda rights affect your criminal case in Illinois from an experienced Chicago criminal defense and DUI lawyer.
