You should hire experienced defense counsel you trust as soon as possible because once you give a statement to the police then trying to fix that initial mistake can cost a lot more down the road to try and exclude that evidence in court for use later in the case, if one is filed. Before a case is filed then there is a chance a good lawyer can persuade the DA to not file the case against you.
