Trust Your Lawyer– He Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police: If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust.  Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway. The U.S. Supreme Court allows police, federal agents and criminal investigators to trick, lie and deceive during the course of their investigations to get the information they want.  If you are being investigated for a federal crime or other serious charge, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights!   If you or someone you know in Virginia needs the skilled legal representation of an experienced Virginia Criminal Defense Attorney, call Kozak & Hamlet, P.C. today at 757-222-2224, or complete the contact form provided on this site to schedule your free consultation.
