If you have been arrested or invited to attend a Scunthorpe Police Interview we would recommend speaking to one of our specialist crime solicitors first.
The police use highly trained officers who are experts at gaining information from suspects. Whether you are guilty of a crime, or not, what you say can be pivotal to your defence and it is crucial to seek specialist legal advice right from the start.
Whether you live in Scunthorpe or further afield our crime solicitors are here to take your call. Furthermore our team of national solicitors are part of the 'Night Owl' system where our duty solicitors will attend at a police station or court around the clock throughout the year.
Investigating police officers are well trained in interview techniques and a suspect often receives a telephone call inviting them to chat. This initial chat is designed to make the person under suspicion feel relaxed and more likely to co-operate.
If you are warned that waiting for a lawyer will jeopardise your case, rest assured our legal representatives will be with you very quickly once you have contacted The Johnson Partnership.
In general we always advise our clients NOT to take part in any questioning without a solicitor present.
As a general guidance the police interview process is generally in three stages;
Disclosure. Where information about the allegations are provided
A confidential consultation between solicitor and client
Taped, recorded, interview
During the interview you may exercise your right to remain silent. Ultimately there will be three possible outcomes, you may either be charged, bailed, or no further action will be taken.
If you or a member of your family have been arrested or called for questioning please call 01159 419141 and ask to speak to one of our duty solicitors.
