Talk To Our Lawyer Today,Not The Police
Common questions we hear from potential clients are, "Should I answer the police officer's questions?" and, "Do I need a lawyer for a traffic matter?" Law enforcement officials and sometimes even prosecutors may try to convince or coerce you into giving a statement with a potentially false promise of favorable treatment.
Avoid "hanging yourself." Whatever benefit you get from answering questions without an attorney present is far outweighed by the damage you may do to your case.
