When Should I Talk To A Criminal Defense Attorney?
Whether you’re being questioned as a witness in a criminal case, under investigation, facing arrest or have already been charged with a crime, securing strong legal representation early can be the difference between a favorable outcome and severe consequences – including jail time.
Call an attorney as soon as you:
- Are contacted by law enforcement for questioning
- Are arrested or detained by the authorities for any reason
- Receive a subpoena to testify or provide documents in a case
- Suspect you may be under investigation, even if you are not sure
In all these scenarios, having an attorney with you when you talk to the police ensures that your rights under the criminal justice system are protected and you avoid making incriminating statements. In short, you should never talk to the police without calling an attorney first if at all possible.
Why does talking to an attorney before you talk to the police matter so much? Investigators are trained to gather information, and even seemingly innocent statements on your part can be twisted to support a narrative that hurts you. Your attorney can manage communications with law enforcement, particularly in cases involving the federal courts, where the laws are complex and the penalties can be more severe.
If speaking to an attorney before interacting with the police is not possible, it’s essential to assert your right to remain silent and ask for legal representation. Your Sixth Amendment rights guarantee you the right to legal counsel, which is fundamental to ensuring a fair criminal justice system.
Ultimately, if you are charged with a crime, early involvement by an attorney can secure a better outcome for your case than you might otherwise see. They can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of any case against you, help you understand all your defense options, negotiate a plea deal or advocate for reduced charges when appropriate. If your case heads to court, they can make sure that you have a fair trial.
