If you are unfortunate enough to have police officers contact you in relation to a possible criminal offence or if you receive a letter from the Procurator Fiscal’s Office advising you that you are suspected of being, or are, involved in any criminal offence you may not have been in such a position before.
You may feel angry, embarrassed or indignant. You may feel that you want to tell your side of the story.
At Hill & Robb, criminal defence lawyers Stirling, it is our experience that in such a situation your first step should be to contact us and get criminal law advice on what you should do.
The Police and more so the Procurator Fiscal’s Office now have a wide discretion on when and how they proceed with further proceedings and these decisions can be influenced by your reaction and their own policy guidelines. Being caught up in such situations, even in relation to a minor alleged offence, can be a worrying and anxious experience for you or, in some cases, your child. At Hill & Robb, we have a broad breadth of knowledge of the Scottish criminal legal system at all levels. It is never too early to consult Hill & Robb criminal law solicitors in confidence for professional help and advice.
