With regards to a Police Interview, you have the civic right to sound legal advice from a solicitor before you attend this interview.
There is a preconceived notion that by attending the police station with a layer is indicative of guilt. This is a big myth. For most of us, the first response to the prospect of being questioned by the police is to go solo and attend on their lonesome, responding immediately and answering all the questions the police can throw at you, generally in a vague attempt to talk their way out of the situation they are in and speed up the entire process. It’s no surprise then that this method is also the one with the least amount of success, it’s inadvisable to approach what is a serious situation by being so unprepared.
The answer to this approach is to circumvent the room for personal mistakes, by attending an interview with one of our specialist lawyers who are therefore able to ascertain an outlook on the whole situation, they are able to advise and explain to you the whole process and to then advise you what the most logical approach is. It is always advisable to decline to answer questions until you have representation, this is not a sign of guilt it is a sign of proper etiquette, it is the best way for the team to figure out the entire picture with regards to your situation.
