CRIMINAL LAW
Some important things to remember if you are facing criminal charges
You have the right to remain silent
What does that mean for you? If you are facing criminal charges remain silent!Anything you say can and will be used against you
How does this apply to you? Whether it's to eliminate possible defenses, enhance the criminal charges or to find a reason to take you into custody, the things you say can AND WILL be used against you!Talk to a criminal lawyer before giving any voluntary statements
Why? Whether the statement is a true and accurate confession, a statement taken out of context or the police exaggerating the statement, many criminal charges are a result of voluntary statements obtained from the defendant's themselves.A criminal attorney's job is to be your advocate and tell your side of the story. Threats and intimidation from law enforcement personnel don't work if you have a criminal lawyer on your side who knows more about criminal law than your interrogators do.
Law enforcement personnel are allowed to exaggerate and even lie to get a "confession" from you. To an experienced criminal defense attorney many of these lies and exaggerations will be obvious. If you want to cooperate with law enforcement then do it through your criminal defense attorney. You eliminate the risk of misspeaking, being tricked or having your statements taken out of context if your attorney relays the information for you.
