Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Re: Informant

Yes, the person should. The person may have some criminal exposure and should not be in the position of confessing to some crime in order to give information to a law enforcement agency without the advice of an attorney. Even if the law enforcement agency itself first approaches someone to ask him/her for information, the person should consult an attorney to negotiate with the law enforcement agency and to make sure the agency abides by its agreement with the person.
