Under Investigation? What you need to know

In my experience, I have seen a lot of cases go bad when people are “just under investigation” by law enforcement. What you may think is a simple conversation with the police can very quickly turn into a nightmare without assistance from an experienced legal professional.

While you might believe that you are better off not being represented by an attorney because it will make you “look guilty,” this is a terrible mistake to make that may cost your future.

If the police are interested in talking to you, then you can presume they have already spoken with the prosecutor’s office and are working to build a case.

From your first instance of contact with the police, it is critical to have experienced criminal defense attorneys on your side who can protect your rights and help you make proper legal decisions.

Working with the right criminal defense lawyers can often lead to no criminal charges being filed or even pursued against you.
