Things To Know When Meeting With Your Criminal Lawyer For The First Time
First, remember that you have the right to remain silent. This means that you do not have to answer questions from law enforcement. If you or your loved one has been accused of a crime, you should always speak with an attorney before speaking with law enforcement.
Please also keep in mind that law enforcement will be listening if you or your loved one is being held in jail. Do not communicate anything that could be used by law enforcement to further their case. In fact, it is safest not to communicate anything about the allegations at all. Even calls to or from jail could be monitored, so people should be very careful about what they say when making or receiving these calls. Even if the call is with a lawyer, the call could be monitored. The person in custody should always let the lawyer lead these calls.
If you have been accused or are being investigated but not yet charged, the objective during the first meeting with your lawyer will be to see what can be done to prevent charges from being filed. If you have been charged and are being held, the objective during the first meeting may be to see if you can be released on bail. If you have been charged and are not being held, the conversation will be focused on what happened, what the potential penalties are, and what can be done to fight the charges or minimize those penalties.
