What Not to Do After Being Charged with a Felony in St. Paul

When facing felony charges, it is extremely important to be mindful of the things you say about your case and who you say them. We recommend that you avoid doing the following.

Do Not Answer Questions While in Police Custody Without Your Attorney Present 

Under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, you have the right not to incriminate yourself when questioned by police officers. If you voluntarily answer questions from law enforcement without the presence of a lawyer, you may make statements that the prosecution can use against you in court.

Do Not Talk About Your Charges with Friends or Family

All conversations you have with your lawyer are inadmissible in court because of the attorney-client privilege. However, the attorney-client privilege does not cover statements you make to friends or family members regarding your case. Although statements you make to your spouse privately are not admissible in court under most circumstances, you should avoid discussing your case with friends or family until it has concluded.
