We strongly advise that you do not give a statement to the police until you have consulted with one of our criminal defence lawyers. These statements are often requested while an individual is experiencing a high level of stress and has no idea of the type of charges that are potentially being laid against them. In addition, a statement might not address the whole picture, and any vagueness or inaccuracies can be used against you in court.
We strongly encourage that individuals seek the legal aid of our criminal justice lawyers who will assess the situation and give a just, unbiased opinion on whether giving a statement to the police is in their best interests.
