In almost all circumstances anyone suspected of committing a crime has a right to silence. This means that if the police want to question you, you do not have to answer their questions. The only time this differs is in relation to some traffic matters.

Often times people want to co-operate with police or think that things will go better for them if they tell police their story. In almost all cases this is NOT recommended. Often people will become confused and say things they did not mean or answer questions they really did not understand. The police will use anything you say against you. That is why it is important to contact your lawyer and obtain legal advice before you talk to the police. Your lawyer can give you advice on the entire legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.

At Mandy Hull & Associates, our experienced criminal lawyers can give you the best advice to ensure that you stay out of trouble or at the very least, to ensure you obtain the best possible result.
