POLICE / FED AGENT INVESTIGATIONS
The services of a criminal defense attorney are the most effective
when used as "preventative medicine," that is, before major
charges are filed, during the government's investigation and
questioning. When the police inspector, investigator or federal
agent leaves a card, one should consider oneself a potential
defendant and hire a professional criminal defense lawyer.
When the government investigators call, one needs to consult
with a criminal defense attorney immediately. As soon as the
government calls on a person, the Fifth Amendment Privilege
Against Self-Incrimination and Miranda rights are in play. In the
confidential setting of the lawyer's office, one can divulge all the
facts of a case so the lawyer can determine if it would be
advantageous to the client's case either to remain silent (and
begin preparing to fight charges), or to meet with the government
investigators (if it is highly probable that exonerating evidence will
prevent charges from ensuing).
It is usually never advisable to meet and speak with government
investigators, even with a lawyer. It is never advisable to meet
with investigators without the aid of an attorney at one's side.
However, there are times when one can attend an interrogation
with an attorney and expect good results. An attorney can help
the questionee prepare for government interrogation with mock
sessions. If, in the attorney's opinion, the questionee can be
protected and sufficient exonerating evidence would be
forthcoming, then it may be advisable to attend the interrogation.
The benefit could be that no charges will ensue. Also, if charges
are likely to ensue anyway, then it can be advantageous to paper
the record with favorable statements, near in time to the alleged
event. Doing so can mean added credibility in negotiations with
the prosecutor, or in front of the jury. When the attorney is skilled
enough, he or she can negotiate reduced charges, a dismissal
or an acquittal.
If you or your loved one is facing an investigation, or recently has
been arrested, and the government has shown an interest in
questioning in an interview or interrogation, then seriously
consider hiring a criminal defense attorney to assist in winning
your case.

"I believe in our freedoms;
so I'm calling it 'accusation
law.' I don't like the phrase
'criminal law.' You're not a
criminal if the prosecution
can't prove it. When I fight
for you, this is the law of
accusations not criminals."
