If you have been arrested by police or charged with a criminal offence, it is important to understand your rights and what powers police have to investigate.
Regardless of what criminal offence you have been charged with, it is imperative that you seek the advice and representation of a criminal defence lawyer – contact our criminal defence team for a thorough discussion of your rights.
Other than providing the police with your name and address, and in the case of a car accident, details of the accident, which you are legally required to provide, it is advisable not to discuss anything with the police before speaking to a lawyer, even if you are completely innocent.
It is important to remember that a person under arrest has the legal right to be given access to a phone to contact a lawyer. A lawyer should be contacted by a person under arrest (or a friend or relative of theirs on their behalf) as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, a lawyer may need to come to the police station or may simply be able to give advice over the phone.
