Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I Need a Lawyer Before Talking to Investigators About an Alleged Theft?
Yes. Investigators may contact you before an arrest because they want a statement, documents, access to financial records, or consent to search a phone, home, or workplace. Even an attempt to explain a misunderstanding may give the government evidence it did not already have. Do not assume an investigator only wants your side of the story.
