First-time defendants in a criminal case frequently make costly mistakes during the earliest stages of a criminal investigation or prosecution because of their inexperience with the system. If you find yourself under arrest or the target of criminal investigation, remember a few basic rules. Do not discuss your case with anyone, including your spouse, your mother, your best friend, your co-defendant, or your cellmate.  Your conversation with your defense attorney is confidential; however, anything you say to anyone else is not.  Do not answer questions. The police are not your friends and it is perfectly legal for them to lie to you during an investigation. Instead, ask for an attorney – repeatedly if necessary.
