Criminal defendants are guaranteed the following rights when confronted with criminal charges:

Right to an Attorney — Defendants have the right to an attorney throughout legal proceedings. The court will appoint an attorney for the defendant at no charge if they cannot afford to hire one.
Right to a Jury Trial — Defendants have the right to a speedy, public jury trial. At the trial, the defendant is presumed innocent, and cannot be convicted unless 12 impartial jurors are convinced of the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Right to Confront Witnesses — Defendants have the right to confront and cross-examine all witnesses testifying against them.
Right Against Self-Incrimination — Defendants have the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves, and the right to testify on their own behalf.
Right to Produce Evidence — Defendants have the right to present evidence and to have the court issue a subpoena to bring into court all witnesses and evidence favorable to them, at no cost to the defendant.

While many people may have heard of these rights, few people know what they mean in the true sense of a criminal prosecution. The Philadelphia criminal defense attorneys at the law firm of Erik B. Jensen understand Pennsylvania and New Jersey criminal law and procedure and are willing to fight for the rights of their clients.
