We understand that being invited to attend a police interview in Burton can be a cause for anxiety.
The role our solicitors play is to represent your best interests whilst understanding the approach the police may use during the interview.
It is important that you have a lawyer present with you at this point as the outcome of the initial questioning can prove pivotal to the rest of a case.
Regardless of the hour, day or night, our Burton police interview solicitors will be available to take your call. With the introduction of our 'Night Owl' system our duty solicitors will attend the police station or court anywhere in England.
It may be that you get an unexpected knock at the door at home and are arrested or very often a suspect in an investigation receives a telephone call from the police inviting the person for a chat. It is worth noting that investigating police officers are well trained in making the suspect feel relaxed to ensure they co-operate from the outset.
Even if you believe a police officer is remaining neutral and friendly during an interview, having a lawyer present is essential and waiting for a duty solicitor will not jeopardise your case.
The police interview process comes in three stages;
-
Disclosure where information regarding the allegations are provided
-
Confidential consultation between solicitor and client
-
Tape recorded interview
You do have the right to remain silent during your police interview and at the end of the interview there will be three possible outcomes. You may be charged, bailed or no further action will be taken.
In summary if you, or a member of your family, have been arrested or invited to the police station for questioning we recommend you contact our solicitors by calling 01332 370473.
