Santa Monica Criminal Defense Attorneys
How can a Santa Monica criminal defense lawyer at Okabe & Haushalter help?
In facing any criminal accusation, you may feel confused and angry. You may want to try to cooperate with law enforcement, thinking it will help you in the long run. Unfortunately, a well-meaning, good person is still a suspect in the eyes of police investigators. They may ask you certain questions in an attempt to have you admit guilt. They may ask to conduct a search of your property. Contact a Santa Monica criminal defense attorney before you submit to questioning, or before you allow police to search your property. The failure to do so may result in the police getting exactly what they want – an admission or proof of guilt. Unless the police have a legal search warrant, you do not have to give them permission to search your property.
It is important to have a Santa Monica criminal defense attorney at your side if you are facing a criminal investigation or charges. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a situation where your cooperation was turned into self incrimination.
