Question:
When should I see a lawyer?

Answer:
If you are suspected of or arrested for a crime, particularly a serious one, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. He or she has a better sense of what you should and should not say to law enforcement officers to avoid being misinterpreted or misunderstood.You should insist on having a lawyer present before you answer any questions. The lawyer also can advise you, your family or your friends on the bail process.
