Get a Criminal Defense Lawyer if being investigated by police in Wisconsin – before you talk to the police!

A police investigation can be a nerve-wracking experience, and if the police in Wisconsin are actually investigating you, you need a lawyer. It is only natural that you’d want to talk to the police and prove to them that you’re not the person they’re looking for, but that puts you at more risk than you might realize.

Even if you are not guilty of whatever crime the police are investigating, be very careful talking to the police. Always have a lawyer present; tell the police immediately that you want legal representation when speaking with them. Invoke your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. If you do not have a lawyer present, your statements could be misinterpreted, even if you think they’re not incriminating.

A lawyer also ensures that your rights are respected and that the questioning process is done according to law. The lawyer can spot technicalities that could help you, as well as stop you from speaking when silence would be a much better defense.

Most police officers and detectives are dedicated public servants who want to do their job properly and find the right suspects. Occasionally, though, you get one who just wants the case to be closed, and that can lead to investigation tactics that aren’t always acceptable. A lawyer will help you navigate through this maze.

You should always be polite and straightforward when dealing with the police, but if they start to question you about a crime and want to know where you were and if you were involved, you must request that a lawyer be present. Call Eisenberg Law Offices to arrange for a criminal defense lawyer to help you with your case and the questioning that the police want to do. Don’t let nerves or fear take over; get good legal representation immediately.
