You should never talk the police without the presence of your attorney. If you’re being questioned by the police, they probably don’t have enough evidence to arrest you and are hoping you’ll make an incriminating statement. Don’t make this costly mistake. Many police officers who get charged with a crime will hire a criminal defense attorney almost immediately, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do the same. A qualified criminal defense lawyer will look out for your best interests by talking to investigators without saying anything that can be used in court, and they'll look for any information that he or she can use to get your charges dropped or lowered. If you choose to speak with a police office without your lawyer, they can and will use what you say against you in court.
