Telling Your Side of the Story
A criminal charge is a serious matter that puts the great resources of the state behind an effort to convict you. Although, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, you will require a skilled criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights and defend you and your good reputation against these serious charges.
David L. DenHartigh, Attorney at Law, has over 20 years of criminal defense experience. Contact him at his Salem, Oregon, office to discuss how he can help you respond to criminal charges.
Don't Help the Police Convict You
Many people believe, when they have been arrested or are being investigated by the police, that they can talk themselves out of their predicament. Instead, most of them end up talking themselves into a deeper hole.
The jails and prisons are full of people who have talked to the police.
You are under no obligation to speak to the police. Tell them politely that you will not answer any questions and that they can pose their questions to your criminal defense lawyer.
