If charges have not yet been filed, but you are suspected of committing a crime, getting a lawyer involved before talking to the police can make a huge difference in the outcome. Police often try to speak with suspects to strengthen their case. Even though police may say they are trying to give a suspect the opportunity to clear his or her name or to give his or her side of the story, anything the suspect says is very likely to be used against him or her should charges be filed. Get real advice before you inadvertently help the police build a stronger case. Even people who have done absolutely nothing wrong can unknowingly corroborate details that seem to support the complaining party’s version of events.
If you are suspected of committing a crime, getting an experienced attorney on board as soon as possible can make a huge difference. Sometimes, getting quick and competent advice about how to best protect yourself from an accusation can deprive police or investigators of information they might otherwise use to accuse and convict you.
Sometimes, when police have the wrong person or don’t understand that no crime was actually committed, an experienced attorney can provide information to investigating agencies to keep them from charging the suspect.
