When the statement says "people are told they have a right to have a lawyer," in the due process of law who are the people referring to?

If the police are questioning a person about possibly having committed a crime, the suspect has the right to have a lawyer with him/her. The lawyer will protect that person's rights and advise him what to say or not say so that the accused doesn't incriminate himself.
