Defendants under investigation or arrest are always best served by early consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Houston. Exercising your right to remain silent is always the best course of action. While attempting to explain or defend yourself to law enforcement can be tempting, it is highly unlikely you will talk your way out of arrest. Investigators are only interested in gathering evidence of your guilt. If they are talking to you, it is likely they do not yet have enough evidence to make an arrest and are hoping your will implicate yourself. Even when you don’t think you are making incriminating statements, what you say to law enforcement may conflict with potential defenses an experienced law firm may have otherwise been able to use on your behalf.
