What do you do if you are under investigation?
If you are under investigation, the best thing to do is contact an experienced qualified defense attorney. Here, we explain why, and how we can protect you.
What happens if a police officer leaves a card with his phone number on or at your doorstep or at your loved one’s doorstep? What do you do? What do you do next?
The best thing you can do is call an experienced, qualified criminal defense attorney. Here’s why…
What the police officer expects you to do is call them yourself and set up a meeting where they can speak to you. In most cases, they’re not on your side, it’s not their job – their job is to make arrests and get convictions.
A criminal defense attorney can take that information and find out from the officer exactly what they’re looking at, what they want and what they need. This is why it is recommended that your defense attorney speaks for you.
It is very dangerous for you to speak to a police officer, because as you may have heard, anything you say or disclose to them, can and will be used against you. Even if it seems like it is something innocent, it can be used against you.
For example, if you acknowledge that you were at a certain bar or club at a certain time, you would have already given them part of the proof that they may need or want.
When talking with an attorney about your situation, you should not leave out any details. This will only help your case and the attorney will have a better idea of what you are up against.
