Facing serious criminal charges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face the state alone. A strong defense isn’t built on luck—it’s built on a rigorous, evidence-driven investigation. ⚖️

At Gratz Law Firm, we know how the prosecution builds its case because we’ve been on that side of the courtroom. As a former TBI Special Agent and Assistant District Attorney, attorney David Gratz applies elite investigative experience to protect your future by:

Challenging Probable Cause: Scrutinizing the initial stop, detention, or arrest to ensure your constitutional rights were not violated.
Verifying Search Warrant Requirements: Auditing search warrants, affidavits, and police procedures for critical legal flaws.
Identifying Weaknesses in Evidence: Uncovering gaps in the prosecution’s case file, chain-of-custody errors, and testing inconsistencies.
Protecting Your Constitutional Rights: Ensuring you are treated fairly at every stage of the legal process.

Whether you are facing felony charges, a DUI, or a complex investigation, put an insider’s defense in your corner.

Myth busted! 🛑 Police do NOT have to read your Miranda rights the second you’re handcuffed.
They are only legally required to read them if two conditions are met:

1. You are in custody (not free to leave).
2. They are interrogating you (asking questions meant to elicit incriminating answers).

If police ask questions without reading your rights while you’re under arrest, what you say may be thrown out in court—but the arrest itself remains valid.

Need clarity on a criminal defense or law enforcement matter? The team at Gratz Law Firm is here to help protect your rights.

“I have nothing to hide” is the most dangerous phrase in criminal defense.

Cooperating with an officer means remaining calm, providing identification when legally required, and handling the interaction politely. Consenting means waiving your 4th Amendment rights to let them search your vehicle, phone, or home—even without a warrant.
Respect the process, but protect your rights.
