Pre-Indictment Investigation Attorney Springfield, IL

We Can Stop Your Charges Before They're Even Filed

Have you been accused of a criminal offense? Even if charges have yet to be filed against you, there is legal action that you can take in your defense. Law enforcement agencies often conduct investigations before official charges may be filed. In such an investigation, police officers may knock on the accused individual's door and speak with them about the alleged offense in an effort to gather information and, most importantly, to incriminate the suspect.

What few people realize is that no one is required to comply with the police during these investigations. Furthermore, you can hire a Springfield pre-indictment investigation attorney to protect your rights even before criminal charges are officially filed. If you believe that you are under investigation for a crime, you can take action right away to put an end to your legal troubles.

Understand Your Rights in Pre-File Investigations

It is not uncommon for evidence to be collected against the accused without them even knowing it is going on. Law enforcement officers may attempt to trick you into saying something that could affect your defense before any charges are officially filed. While you certainly have the right to remain silent – as included in the Miranda Rights – police officers are specially trained to convince or lead suspects into speaking so that the individual says more than is good for them, resulting in the filing of criminal charges and a difficult defense. Instead of giving into the officer's demand to answer the questions, you may respectfully decline to do so and request the representation of a Springfield pre-indictment investigation attorney before the investigation continues.
