Questions

Should I Hire a Lawyer Before Speaking With Police During a Criminal Investigation?
Yes. Police may contact you before an arrest because they want a statement, consent to search, access to your phone, or information about another person. An officer may describe the conversation as informal, but anything you say may appear in a police report and later become evidence against you.
A criminal defense lawyer protects you by handling communications with investigators, advising you about interviews and searches, and preserving evidence that supports your defense.
