Trust Your Lawyer - He Represents 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. Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway. Just politely, but firmly, tell the officers, agents or detectives that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough.

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. If you are being investigated for a federal crime or other serious crime, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You have the "right to remain silent" and the "right to an attorney" - use those rights! Schedule an appointment with Salem, New Hampshire criminal defense Attorney Patrick E.
