By Alissa C. Lietzow, Charleston Pro Bono Legal Services | Most people know that when you are charged with a crime, you are guaranteed legal representation if you do not have the financial means to pay for it yourself.
In fact, many of you can probably recite the Miranda rights from having watched Law & Order:
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”
