[0:00] Clients often ask us whether they should
[0:02] speak to the police or stay silent. In
[0:04] most cases, it is better not to answer
[0:06] any police questions. This is because at
[0:08] the early stages, you do not know
[0:10] exactly what the police are alleging or
[0:11] what evidence they may or may not have.
[0:13] Anything you do say, though, can be used
[0:15] against you in court. Therefore, it's
[0:17] best not to answer any questions at the
[0:19] early stages and speak to a criminal
[0:21] lawyer in Brisbane immediately if you
[0:23] are facing any serious charges in
[0:25] Queensland. You can visit our website at
