If you have been arrested or questioned by the police this can be a very upsetting experience and our advice is to contact our Nottingham lawyers before being interviewed by a police officer.
With highly trained police interview solicitors, we know that when you are invited to the police station for investigation, this initial interrogation can be pivotal to the case. It is crucial to have a legal professional present right from the start.
Regardless of where you live in the country, our experienced police interview experts are here to take your call. Our 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.
We advise all our clients – never take part in questioning without a solicitor present.
The police interview process comes in three stages;
Disclosure – information about the allegations are provided
Confidential consultation between solicitor and client
Tape recorded interview
During interview with a police officer, 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.
