The Police will not allow you to speak with your criminal lawyer until they have completed their investigation. The time that it takes for the police varies depending on each case and how long the obstruction of justice would be if they allowed you access to a legal counsel before concluding investigations.
When you are a suspect in criminal proceedings, the Police can interview you and request that you sign a statement. You will not be able to have your lawyer accompany or attend these interviews with you - contact us for more information about this process!
