Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

This is typical. As a former police officer, I "worked" these smaller cases to see what I could find. There are too many pitfalls to discuss on this forum. Feel free to contact me to discuss.

Never trust the police when they say this. Do not speak to the police at all without first consulting with a lawyer.

I'm a former narcotics prosecutor and the answer is: 'no.' It is very possible that an attorney can arrange to have your charge worked out to be a non-public conviction in court without cooperating with the police. Moreover, the police saying you 'cooperated' will have zero impact on your charge. If you'd like to discuss your situation, feel free to call.

I'm the President of the Livonia Bar Association. If your case is in Livonia, call me. I can help. I see you are 48150. I agree with the others advice, but have a different take if the matter is in Livonia.

You should not. You should, however, speak with an attorney that can talk to the police. Either they need your assistance on another matter or they need additional information from you in order to prosecute. If they want to help you, then they should also welcome and appreciate an attorney assisting you.

Do not go in there without an attorney. Good luck.

All of the attorneys agree. You should never talk to the police without having your attorney present. In addition, the police are not the ones that make the decision about what to charge you with. You can read more about that at:
