Anyone who finds themselves under investigation in connection with a criminal offence should consult a lawyer at the earliest opportunity, preferably before making a statement to the police.

An attorney can help you clarify the situation, and ensure that your rights are not being infringed upon.

In many cases, you will be entitled to a publicly appointed defense counsel. This means that the attorney engaged to represent you will be paid through public funds.
