Have You Been Arrested and Under Investigation?

Posted by Hedding Law Firm | Mar 31, 2015

Remember, silence is your best defense when dealing with the police. At the time of arrest, most police officers are trained to elicit self-incriminating statements from you. Once they have your basic information, you are under no obligation to explain anything. Every word you say, even those meant to prove your innocence, can be twisted and used against you.

Remember, your silence is your shield. Stay quiet, and contact an attorney immediately. This is your right, and it's a crucial step in protecting yourself.

Having a qualified and skilled attorney fighting for you is the wisest thing you can do when being charged with a federal crime. Our attorneys are not just legal experts; they are your advocates in the legal system. They understand the complexities of federal law and are dedicated to protecting your rights and freedom. When it comes to federal crimes, prosecutors use every available resource to convict a person, but our attorneys step up and step in with every available resource to preserve a person's freedom.

Remember, you have the right to remain silent until a federal lawyer is present. This right is there to protect you, so use it!

Generally, before you are formally charged with a federal crime, an investigation is done, which is referred to as the per-filing stage. This is a great time when a skilled federal defense attorney can make the most impact. We have taken on several cases in the per-filing stage that have yet to make it past that point.

Our ultimate goal is to prevent you from ever being formally charged. Prosecutors will try to build a case against you, but we're here to show a lack of merit and insufficient evidence. We're in this fight with you, and we're determined to win.

Whether you're in the pre-filing stage or have been formally charged, the federal attorneys at the Hedding Law Firm are your best defense. We are seasoned in the federal court arena, well-versed in the laws, procedures, and court processes. We have the knowledge and experience to protect your freedom and rights. Remember these key points: refrain from self-incrimination, contact us immediately, and let us handle the rest.
