Contacting Counsel Prior to Meeting with the Police Regarding Investigations

Contacting Counsel Prior to Meeting with the Police Regarding Investigations

Please remember that when a police officer wishes to discuss and investigation of a crime with you or your child, you have a right to have counsel present. Very often, law abiding persons or parents believe that cooperating with law enforcement will be a benefit to them or their child. Many times, the person or the child is the focus of the investigation.
An admission to the crime will not be beneficial and will most likely lead to charges being filed. Adults and juveniles may not realize that they are, in fact, admitting to a crime and may be placing themselves in jeopardy. Many cases cannot be proved in court without a statement from the defendant or minor-respondent. If counsel has been consulted prior to meeting with law enforcement, that may be prevented.
Please contact experienced defense counsel before proceeding on your own.
