If you are bring investigated or have been charged with a crime the police will attempt to interrogate you about your involvement in the crime.  You do not have to answer questions by the police.   You should immediately contact our experienced Columbus criminal law firm before you answer questions. 

The police are very skilled at getting a person to incriminate themselves in criminal activity.  The police will do everything they can to interview the suspect before they have had a chance to talk with an attorney.  It is critical not to be intimidated by this police tactic and insist on your right to talk with a criminal law attorney before answering any questions.

A Columbus criminal attorney will make sure your rights are protected under criminal law in Columbus and that if you are going to talk with the police it will be under a more controlled circumstance so that you do not say anything that could be used against in court.   If your rights are not protected anything you say can be used against you in court making it more difficult for your lawyer to win your case. 

Clients are arrested all hours of the day and a good criminal lawyer in Columbus will be available at any time to help you.
