Trust Your Lawyer– He Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police:
If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust. The U.S. Supreme Court allows police, federal agents and criminal investigators to trick, lie and deceive during the course of their investigations to get the information they want, and law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to persuade people to overcome their reluctance to reveal information, that will be used against them later.

If you are being investigated for a state or federal crime, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights! Schedule an appointment today with Attorney Bruce Mason, whose extensive experience with criminal law and procedures will provide a solid foundation for your defense.
