If you need specific legal advice for your particular circumstances, I encourage you to privately consult with a lawyer. If you are charged with an offense and cannot afford to pay for your own defense, the court may appoint you an attorney payable at the public's expense. For certain types of charges, you have a right to counsel. The police only need to advise you of your Miranda rights when they plan to interrogate you while you are in custody. There are plenty of situations where the police have no plans to interrogate anyone so they don't bother to issue the Miranda rights when they arrest someone. Whether the arrest itself was valid, however, ultimately depends on a litany of other factors as well.
