lets talk about when its necessary to lawyer up

is it necessary to hire a lawyer whenever you end up get picked up by the police from a CD? Or as long as you shut your mouth and deny everything, will you eventually be let go with the cops not having shit?

im gonna look into a lawyer for if i ever do have a nasty encounter with the cops but if i can handle it by denying everything, id rather not spend the money on the retainer

Yes. It is 100% necessary to have a lawyer if you were to have the unfortunate luck of receiving a controlled delivery. In fact, if you have the financial ability, you should keep a lawyer on retainer if you are very deep in any illegal activity.

You just shouldn't say anything, even denying. Just tell the cops you don't want to answer any questions without a lawyer.

Depends what your situation is and how likely you are to say something you shouldn't.

I've had a few dealings with lawyers. Half the time they weren't as clued up about specific laws relevant to my case as I was after a few days of intense reading. But what they bring to the table is experience.

They know the system, they know the paperwork, they know timescales. They know when to talk and when not to. They can prepare you for what to expect.

From experience it's better to have a lawyer clued up about the specifics if your circumstances rather than have any old random Joe represent you... And you're more likely to find the right guy when you have plenty of time to look.

Unless you got arrested for some crazy shit, you will be able to bail out and have time to find a lawyer while awaiting trial. Most lawyers give you free consultation so you can ask a bunch of questions before you make any decision to drop $5000 on a guy just to represent you.

If you're gonna spend time preparing for your arrest, spend it on making sure that (a) your stash isn't all sitting in your apartment when you get pinched, and (b) you have a friend who can pay bail for you with clean money that can't be seized by the police.

Lawyers are for after you get arrested. I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about that shit too much unless you're a big player , or have some reason to believe you'll be denied bail. Source: was arrested in the middle of the night for some bullshit.

you don't drive without insurance, you don't break the law without a lawyer. Everybody gonna do it. Might as well be prepared. I have a family friend lawyer and if he can't do it, he adviises me as to which lawyer I should see. Oh it's fucking invaluable. ASK FRIENDS AND FAMILY. especially those welloff. I did this young. I acquired the lawyerr at 20, when he passed away a few years later, his secretary gave me the name of a very good lawyer. And that's how it works. It's not hard. Do you value your life? I do.
