Criminal Law
People often ask whether I should talk to the police when I'm arrested.
That question, although I think it's human nature to want to explain your
side of the story or your position, I don't know how many times, or how
strenuous I could tell you, it's not in your interest to talk to the police
without talking to a lawyer first. So, although it may be human nature for
you to explain to the cops or explain to the police exactly what happened,
don't do it. I don't care how much in your gut you want to, do not do it
until you've talked to an experienced lawyer, because what you say can and
will be held against you.
