In what is termed the "pre-filing" phase of a criminal case, law enforcement will begin investigating individuals whom they believe committed a crime or whom they suspect may be have been involved in the commission of a crime.  Good cop/bad cop is a very real interview or interrogation tactic, so do not be fooled by a friendly investigator who seems sympathetic and seems to be on your side.  Law enforcement officers are hoping that you will slip up and say something that helps them build their case and allows them to arrest you.  It is stressful to be investigated, and unfortunately, the stress of the situation leads some people to become extremely talkative.  They are hoping that their cooperation will result in law enforcement leaving them alone, but in reality, they are often digging a deeper and deeper hole that may be impossible to climb out of, even with the help of a subsequently hired attorney.  It is crucial that you resist the impulse to talk to investigators until after you have consulted with an attorney.  Call the Law Office of Brian C. Andrith without delay if you have been contacted by law enforcement conducting an investigation.
