When you are arrested, a police officer will read you your Miranda Rights 'right to remain silent, and that anything the person says will be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he/she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he/she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him/her.' You are also guaranteed the rights in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.

Anyone accused on a crime has the right to counsel even before court. In court, a person has a right to counsel, a right to reasonable bail (if eligible), a trial by a jury of his peers, and to be confronted with the witnesses against him. No person accused of a crime can be denied his or her Constitutional rights (though some may be restricted if confined in jail).
