Experienced Bellingham Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you are arrested by a Washington State Trooper or Bellingham Police Officer, you can invoke your constitutional right to remain silent. You should contact our Bellingham office immediately so that we can protect your legal rights before you make any statement to law enforcement. To invoke your right to remain silent you simply say, “I am invoking my right to remain silent until AFTER I have spoken to an attorney.” After invoking your rights, do not make any statement about the facts of the case.


Even if you are completely innocent of the accusation, once you learn you are the target of a criminal investigation, never make a statement to any law enforcement officer. The Constitution of the United States of America recognizes your right against self-incrimination. Under most circumstances, your silence can not be used against you at trial. In other words, the jury will never be told that you asked for an attorney. You can decide to speak to law enforcement, but your statements may be misconstrued and used against you. Your side of the story can best be told through your Bellingham attorney.


It is important to remember that every case is different. Together we can devise a strategy to defend you against the pending criminal charges. If you have been charged with a crime in the greater Bellingham area, David Jolly can negotiate with the Bellingham Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to get the charges reduced or even dismissed. If the charges are not dropped,there are often defenses that can be aggressively litigated before trial including Motions to dismiss the Criminal Charge; or Motions to suppress evidence.​


David Jolly and he team of Bellingham criminal defense attorneys will discuss all your options and, with his knowledge and experience, guide you through the legal system in Whatcom County to help you obtain the best result for your situation.
