Police Station Interviews – Scotland’s Expert Criminal Defence Lawyers
You have the right to talk with a solicitor before any police interview, regardless of the allegation or crime, such as domestic assault, breach of the peace, or any other offence. You have the right to have a solicitor present during any police interview.
Unlike other law offices, if you ask for us or phone us at any time of day or night, we will arrange to meet, speak with, or accompany you to any police interview.
While there are rare exceptions, such as in traffic situations, you have the right to remain silent or make no statement in 99 percent of cases. You are not obligated to “give your side of the story” or tell the cops anything. You might simply state “no comment”. It is up to the Police, and ultimately the Crown, to prove any claims they make against you.
In our experience, when people waive their right to silence, they frequently discover that their version of events has not been accepted, but the information they provided in presenting that version has been used against them, and frequently speaking to the police can prejudice your case.
Our advise to clients who have been arrested or detained in police custody is to insist on a consultation and legal advice from a solicitor before being questioned by police, and for our solicitors to accompany you to any police interrogation if you request it.
We take pride in battling for our clients and insist on a strong defence.Police Station Interviews.
