Have you received a summons to provide an explanation? Has the police called you to appear at a station for testimony? Do you have absolutely no idea what it is about, or do you suspect what the interrogation will focus on? Either way, it is always better to arrive with an attorney who knows your rights, will assist you, and will ensure that everything proceeds properly within the limits of the law. Do you have another criminal law issue and need a high-quality defense lawyer? Then you are in the right place!
Our lawyers and attorneys will be happy to assist you with legal counseling in the area of PROVIDING EXPLANATIONS AND POLICE INTERROGATIONS, whether it involves studying your case, advising you on your rights, or providing information on how the entire process will unfold.
Do I have to visit the attorney’s office in person? Not if you do not wish to.
Consultation on the matter, review of documentation, and guidance on how everything will proceed regarding PROVIDING AN EXPLANATION OR A POLICE INTERROGATION can be handled remotely. We can meet in person right before the police station. By saving both your time and ours, you will also SAVE MONEY.
CAN I REFUSE TO TESTIFY?
A: As a suspect – YES. It is your fundamental right and no one can force you to testify.
B: As a witness – generally NO.
Exceptions:
- if by testifying you could cause criminal prosecution for yourself or persons close to you;
- if you have a statutory duty of confidentiality (lawyer, priest, etc.)
WHAT IF I SIMPLY DO NOT SHOW UP?
If you do not appear at the police station without an excuse, the police may have you brought in; that is, they will bring you to the station for an explanation or interrogation authoritatively, even against your will.
ALWAYS DEMAND THE INTERROGATION PROTOCOL FROM THE POLICE OFFICER; IT CAN BE VERY USEFUL IN THE LATER STAGES OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
