Avoid the Single Biggest Mistake in Criminal Cases

Avoid the single biggest mistake made by persons under criminal investigation.

• Never, never talk to law enforcement about your case without a lawyer. Not even a little.  If questioned about the facts of your case, don't waive your right to remain silent until you have fully consulted with an attorney.

• Presume any calls made to or from loved ones in jail are usually recorded or monitored by the jail.

• Non legal jail mail can be read.
  
• Any family member, except your spouse, could be legally required to testify about what they hear you say about your case.  In some rare cases, even your spouse could be required to testify against you.  Do not discuss your case with anyone but your attorney without asking your lawyer first.
