Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Yes. If you know you are being investigated, it is a good idea to hire an attorney now. The attorney can contact the investigating agency and obtain information regarding the status of the investigation. Whatever you do, do NOT talk to the investigating officer. An attorney would be able to contact the officer and speak on your behalf.

I handle pre-filing (investigation) cases and would be more than happy to assist you. In choosing an attorney (if you choose to do so), interview a few and pick the one you are most comfortable with. Good luck!

I have read Karren Kenney's answer to your question. She is almost totally right. However, there is a difference between a "subject" and a "suspect." It is more serious to be the "suspect." And a subject can become a suspect in a millisecond, so NEVER talk to any police officer without having a lawyer present. You need a lawyer at this and every stage of this investigation. If you'd like to speak to me about this, please don't hesitate to call. Good luck. Steve Mandell 310 393 0639

I agree with Ms. Kenney. I fail to see how Mr. Mandell has pointed out the difference between a "suspect" and a "subject."
