YES! You absolutely need an attorney and you should not speak with law enforcement regarding this investigation without an attorney present - if at all. The Fifth Amendment provides you with the right to remain silent, and until you have spoken with an attorney, I suggest you assert that right. In my experience, law enforcement generally calls you in for a statement when they do not have enough independent evidence to charge you. So they use the interrogation process to try and get a confession, in part or in full. My office has handled several such cases and can provide you with sound advice or even a referral to strong, local counsel that you can trust to zealously represent youand protect your fundamental constitutional rights. http://www.adamstonelawfirm.com/Practice-Areas/ http://www.adamstonelawfirm.com/Contact.shtml Sincerely, Adam Adam C.
