Police Interview Solicitors Buxton

Being investigated by the police can be very distressing and we would advise you to contact a solicitor experienced in police interview techniques before you visit the Buxton police station.

 

It is crucial that you have a lawyer present with you during a police interview or interrogation as what happens during this initial questioning can prove pivotal to the rest of your case.

 

Whatever time of the day or night, our Buxton Police Interview Solicitors are here to take your call.  With the introduction of our 'Night Owl' system our duty solicitors will attend the police station at any time.

 

It may be that you get an unexpected knock on 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.

 

Investigating officers are well trained to make the suspect feel relaxed and co-operate from the outset. A word of warning from our skilled team of experts, take care with these initial police chats as anything you say can be used later in court. Our advice is to call us before you speak to an officer of the law by telephone or in person.

 

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 (information about the allegations)

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, has been arrested or invited to the police station for questioning please call our solicitors urgently on 01332 370473 and ask to speak to a duty solicitor.
