Violent Crimes Defense Lawyers serving Lawrence, Overland Park, Olathe, Johnson County & Douglas County, Kansas, KS
If you or a loved one has been arrested for a crime, the first and most important rule to know is to politely decline to talk to the police. Many people are unaware that police can lie to suspects in order to coerce confessions from them. This is perfectly legal — and it can be an effective way to trap people into saying things against their own interests.
It is important to contact experienced criminal defense lawyers immediately. At Bell Folsom, P.A., our experienced criminal defense attorneys can properly advise you on what actions to take. Our firm has successfully defended clients facing violent crime charges in Kansas criminal court.
