Even if an attorney was contacted to assist in the case, they might be also contacting a criminal lawyer to help the client because they’re concerned about criminal charges. The client has the right to remain silent. Oftentimes, your own words are the words that end up making it that there are founded allegations of abuse or that you have become charged with some sort of a crime. If you had not said anything, there would not have been these charges brought against you. Clients are truly advised to get attorneys involved to help them through the process.
