Accused? Arrested? Charged? It is a difficult and testing time in your lives. A legal expert can help you recognize your rights, so you get the most favorable outcome you can. When you've been accused of a crime, you must reach out to a defense attorney for assistance as soon as possible. You have the right not to respond to police inquiries inherently. This right is protected throughout the police investigation, from the time you become a suspect until your trial. Your responses can be utilized against you by law enforcement agencies. Criminal suspects may unwittingly offer statements to the police because they trust they are innocent and feel that the police can use what they say to rule them out. Once the police have arrested you, they will assume you have committed a crime. The police usually will not drop charges if you give them a story that does not connect you to a crime. The police may also think you have misunderstood the law and unknowingly told them something illegal. They will also use anything you say against you in court, even if you are not guilty. The police know more than you do. The police may have an incomplete sense of reality, but they may have enough information to create a damaging statement for your defense. If you have been accused of a crime, do not make a statement to the police. Your attorney will review all relevant information for your defense and tell you which information can help you defend these accusations and attacks.
