I've Been Contacted or Charged by Law Enforcement, What Next? 

Being accused of or charged with a crime is one of the most serious and frightening experiences anyone can face. Unfortunately, law enforcement officials often use this fear to their advantage by coercing individuals to talk, or by promising leniency in exchange for cooperation. They often suggest that you would have nothing to hide if you are innocent.

Regardless if you are innocent or guilty, you should always elect to speak with a criminal attorney before agreeing to cooperate with authorities. Everything you say to them will be used against you in later proceedings, and also may be taken out of context. If you are asked to give a statement, tell the authorities that you would be happy to cooperate after first contacting your attorney.

If you have already given a statement, it is crucial to contact an attorney and cease further communication with law enforcement - the attorney can devise a course of action to overcome any potentially incriminating statements you may have given.
