Do You Have to Talk to the Police?

On behalf of Jasti & Khandhar   |   Criminal Defense Firm News Right to Remain Silent

No. You should never speak to the police without a criminal defense attorney present, even if you are innocent. Many people — even those who have done nothing wrong — accidentally incriminate themselves. If the police wish to speak to you, even if you are under arrest or in detention, invoke your right to remain silent until you have a lawyer.
