When you’re being investigated for a white collar crime, whether it’s tax fraud, tax evasion, bank fraud, or anything else, chances are that you’ll be notified that an investigation is underway. Your natural instinct, of course, will be to be cooperative with any officers or agents who are conducting the investigation. At some point or another, in an attempt to get to the bottom of things, these people might ask you to give a statement.
Whether you’re guilty or innocent, one of the worst things you can do is to make a statement without having an attorney present. Sure, you might just be trying to help or clear things up, but it’s always in your best interest to have a lawyer present who can advise you. At the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot, we always advocate for hiring a lawyer as early into the process as you possibly can because we can provide you with helpful advice at every step of the road.
Robert J. DeGroot to the Rescue
It might seem like an awkward situation to be in. After all, if you’re not guilty of committing any crimes, chances are that you’ll want to tell your side of the story and clear your name. You may even feel that asking for a lawyer is evidence of your incrimination or that it will make you look bad. Trust us when we say that this couldn’t be further from the truth. No matter who you’re speaking to, they’ll very likely understand what you’re going through and all you have to say is that it seems like you’re in a rather serious situation and you’d like to speak with your lawyer.
Any levelheaded person will understand that this is in your best interest because it’s likely that they would do the same thing if they were in your situation.
