Do I Need a Lawyer if I’m Under Police or Federal Investigation?
Yes, we highly recommend that you retain legal counsel asap after getting a phone call, letter, or other notification that a case has been created and you are under investigation.
The attorney you choose to hire is the most important decision you will make even before you are charged because they can help prevent you from self-incrimination, getting tricked into something, or coerced into making a statement that is not true. Furthermore, the investigators may “offer” something in exchange for information that they cannot deliver.
