You should call my office for a referral to a good criminal lawyer in your area. Do not talk to the police or your employer no matter what they threaten or promise. They may not be able to convict you unless you make admissions which is what most people do. Remember, Fish Don't Get Caught Until They Open Their Mouth.

If you know that you are being investigated for a crime, you should never talk to the police or anyone else without an attorney present. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Any time you have a detective asking for you to come in for a interview about something criminal you should get an attorney before you talk with the detective. If possible have your attorney make an appointment for the interview to take place in your attorney's office. Having it at his office will give him better control of the interview.

Get a lawyer before talking with police! Police are not your friends in this situation and you likely cannot talk your way out of it.

You are not required to go in for questioning, although, refusing may not resolve the case. If you decide to go speak to the detective, you should first consult with an attorney and have an attorney present during any questioning. Do NOT go alone!

I would not speak to the detective without a lawyer. You are not going to convince him you are innocent just by talking to him. Hire a lawyer, and only if your lawyer goes with you should you talk to the police.

You must absolutely decline the the questioning. You have the right to remain silent, and you should not be speaking with anyone, especially a detective, without your attorney present at all times.

You should not talk to any law enforcement. You may want to hire an attorney to communicate with law enforcement for you. Hiring an attorney may also help you avoid the stress and hassle of being charged and defending yourself in the courts.

Do not speak to anyone about it. Go and see a criminal defense lawyer before your even return a call from the Detective.

Hire an attorney. Do not speak with the cops. If they have enough evidence, you will be charged. You do not want to give them the case against you.
