If Asked By a Police Officer, Should I Go To the Police Station to Give a Statement?

If you are suspected of a crime, you may be asked by a police officer to go to the police station to give a statement or give your side of the story. This means that they do not have enough evidence to arrest you. Any statement you make, either before or after a Miranda warning can be used against you.

Do not, under any circumstances, give an interview or a statement on your own. Call your lawyer and have your lawyer either go with you to advise you during the interview or have your lawyer let the police know you will not be giving a statement.

Our attorneys have the knowledge, skills and years of experience needed to fight for your rights. Your best interests are our first priority. Call the law offices of Johnson, Sclafani & Moriarty for a free, initial consultation. 413-732-8356
