The number of people who are in jail because of the words "I have nothing to hide" is frightening. What is even more frightening is many of them really did not have anything to hide.

What they also did not have was a lawyer to give them advice to protect them from being intimidated, manipulated and/or disadvantaged by a skilled government agent. Our lawyers have seen this happen to innocent people firsthand.

Before you respond to a call from a law enforcement officer or agree to appear at a police department for an interview, call a lawyer first—even if you are told you are not a suspect.

Remember: By law, the police are allowed to lie to you, and they often will. And they will use anything you say against you in a court of law. In any matter that involves law enforcement or prosecutors, you need a lawyer.

The speed with which you get a lawyer on your side has a direct impact on the outcome of your case. By getting an experienced attorney involved early can sometimes impact the filing decision of the prosecution.

It is also important to have a lawyer who understands how criminal prosecution impacts the lives of you and your family, such as immigration status. Seemingly minor offenses can have serious consequences for people who are not U.S. Citizens and can often result in deportation.

The outcome of a criminal case can affect your life in areas like employment and where you are allowed to live. It is essential that you have strong, experienced representation. You deserve an attorney who believes yours is a fight worth fighting.
