If you are the subject of a criminal investigation, then you should immediately hire a criminal defense attorney in Maricopa, AZ.
Many people think it is a waste of money and time to hire a defense attorney when they are under investigation, especially if they think they will not be charged. This type of thinking is not in your best interest.
Hiring an Attorney
When you hire an attorney before you are charged, the criminal defense attorney is the wall between you and the investigators. The attorney will be with you and can advise you anytime you are interrogated by law enforcement.
Most people believe that if they have nothing to hide or they feel they can talk their way out of a situation, so there is no harm in talking with the investigating officers. This is not true. Many suspects have done more harm than good and have even created new problems when talking to the investigators.
Law enforcement officers are trained in interrogation techniques. They will catch any deceptions, inconsistencies in your story, and incorrectly and illegally consider silence as an admission of guilt.
A criminal defense attorney can assert your right to remain silent and can negotiate with the district attorney on the pending charges. Sometimes an attorney can get a favorable outcome by getting the charges dropped or reduced.
If you are already represented by an attorney and an arrest warrant is issued, the attorney can schedule a time for you to walk in and be arrested, fingerprinted, processed and post bail all at the same time. In most cases, you can walk out of jail within a couple of hours.
If you are the subject of a criminal investigation and you can afford an attorney, then, first, you should not speak to law enforcement officers and, second, contact a criminal defense attorney in Maricopa, AZ as soon as possible.
