If the police arrest you, issue a summons, charge you or advise you that you are a suspect, you should get legal representation without delay.
You should always wait for your solicitor to arrive before answering any questions. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 07870 658110, so you can reach us whenever you need us.
With one of our solicitors at your side, you will get advice on the options you have with the questions you are being asked. You need to know your rights and how long you can be kept in the police station without charge. If you find yourself in this situation, just ask for us and we will be there to advise you.
The police caution
If the police advise you that “You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence”, this means that you are suspected of committing an offence. We can offer you legal representation to protect your rights.
The outcome of a police interview
After an interview the police will make a decision whether to charge you with an offence, release you without charge or release you on bail for further investigation. Bail conditions may be imposed and a solicitor can negotiate bail on your behalf.
