When you are wrongfully accused of a crime, it is natural to want to give your side of the story and try to clear your name. We frequently get calls from clients and potential clients who ask us about talking to law enforcement. Most of the time, we advise our clients not to talk to the police—the “right to remain silent” exists for a reason!
Both of our attorneys are former prosecutors who have experience reviewing warrant requests from law enforcement. We know that it is incredibly common for a prosecutor to review a case, decide that the case is not strong enough with the existing evidence, and direct law enforcement to try to get a statement from the suspect in the hopes of getting more evidence to sustain a case.
If you are contacted by law enforcement about allegations against you, you need an experienced criminal attorney to help you decide whether to make a statement, and if so, to help you through that process. It is easier to help you at this stage of the process than after you have made a statement and been charged with a crime.
