When should I involve an attorney? Our advice is to contact an attorney as soon as you have become aware that you may face arrest, or if you are facing criminal allegations of any kind. Even if formal charges have not been filed against you, having a legal professional to represent your interests is of the utmost importance. It is never too early to at least consult with an attorney, as this is a valuable opportunity to learn more about what you are potentially up against and whether you actually need legal counsel at all.
Do I have to answer police questions? If you have been arrested, you have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions that the police may ask you. During questioning, law enforcement is allowed to lie to you in an attempt to get information or to obtain a confession. By taking full advantage of your right to remain silent as well as your right to an attorney, you can help ensure that you do not unintentionally incriminate yourself or say or do anything that may negatively impact your case.
