Stop. Collaborate. And Listen. As a former prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney, this pops into my mind every time someone calls about a detective looking for them. These are the first three steps if you are accused of a crime, whether it is a false allegation or something you are unsure about. Stop what you are doing, call and collaborate with me, and listen to what I say. When your freedom is at stake because law enforcement says you have done something wrong or someone is accusing you of a crime, you need to stop discussing it and collaborate with a criminal defense attorney. We will work together to determine if you did anything wrong, and if so, we will build the best path to protect you. Then you will need to listen to my advice. The clients who don’t comply with my advice end up in a much worse position than if they just listen. So, when you get a message that a detective wants to talk to you, remember to stop, collaborate, and listen. Then, keep calm, and call Hillman.
