Do It Yourself Doesn’t Work Well When There’s Legal Trouble

1. Do​ ​It​ ​Yourself​ ​Doesn’t​ ​Work​ ​Well Do​ ​It​ ​Yourself​ ​Doesn’t​ ​Work​ ​Well    When​ ​There’s​ ​Legal​ ​Trouble When​ ​There’s​ ​Legal​ ​Trouble    If you’re facing legal trouble for something you’ve done, or are accused of having done, don’t make the                 all too common mistake of thinking you can somehow talk your way out of it, or find a relative or friend                 who​ ​can​ ​advise​ ​you​ ​on​ ​how​ ​best​ ​to​ ​deal​ ​with​ ​your​ ​problem.    In fact, police and prosecutors will probably encourage you to talk to them, urging you to share “your               side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​story”​ ​with​ ​them,​ ​to​ ​help​ ​them​ ​understand​ ​what​ ​you​ ​did​ ​or​ ​didn’t​ ​do,​ ​and​ ​why.    One or more of them may even seem fairly decent, friendly types – all the better to tempt you into                   opening​ ​up,​ ​to​ ​show​ ​you’re​ ​a​ ​good​ ​guy​ ​or​ ​able​ ​to​ ​joke​ ​around​ ​a​ ​little.    The plain fact is that almost no one has ever talked his or her way out of trouble that way, but that’s                     been the way a whole lot of people have managed to talk themselves into much deeper trouble.                   Remember, from the police TV shows and movies you’ve seen, how the Miranda warning goes:               something​ ​about​ ​how​ ​anything​ ​you​ ​say​ ​can,​ ​and​ ​will,​ ​be​ ​used​ ​against​ ​you​ ​in​ ​a​ ​court​ ​of​ ​law?    Whatever social skills or street smarts you might have aren’t what you most need when you’re facing                 potential legal jeopardy. Trying to navigate your way out of trouble on your own is a little bit like a               patient with appendicitis thinking there’s no need to see a doctor, believing his life experience, native               smarts​ ​and​ ​personal​ ​charm​ ​ought​ ​to​ ​be​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​pull​ ​him​ ​through.    Acting on your own is the last thing you need when going up against the authorities in an area where                     you don’t know the reasons behind the questions you’re being asked, or the ways your answers –               including innocent memory lapses, omissions, or even minor inaccuracies in details -- can be used             against​ ​you​ ​by​ ​a​ ​determined​ ​prosecutor.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

2.   The​ ​first​ ​thing​ ​you​ ​need,​ ​in​ ​contrast,​ ​is​ ​an​ ​experienced,​ ​resourceful​ ​criminal​ ​defense​ ​lawyer.    Unlike you, a veteran knows inside and out, the rules, the procedures, the police interrogation traps, and                   the​ ​prosecutor​ ​strategies​ ​and​ ​trade-offs​ ​that​ ​can​ ​make​ ​all​ ​the​ ​difference​ ​in​ ​the​ ​outcome​ ​of​ ​your​ ​case.    Rather than talk your way into deeper trouble, the very best step you can take is to politely decline to                   talk with police or prosecutors until after you’ve spoken with your lawyer.
