Real feedback from police station interviews

“Thank goodness my wife found Yasar when she googled ‘informal police interview’ after work allegations. I had several serious allegations made about me at work and was shocked and worried when told I had a police interview. I didn’t know how serious it was or what to expect on the day. Yasar was very calm and professional and knew exactly how to handle the situation. Two days later I had a call from Yasar who stated NFA would be taken. It was one of the most stressful times of my life. I’m so happy I didn’t rely on the duty solicitor and that I contacted Yasar. Many thanks…”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a voluntary police interview?

It is a formal police interview under caution where you are suspected of a criminal offence. It is also called Caution +3. It’s a critical stage where anything you say may be used as evidence. You are not under arrest. You are free to leave at any time. However, if you choose to leave, you may be arrested

Do I need a solicitor for a police interview?

Having a solicitor can be helpful because we: 1) Protect your legal rights throughout, 2) Ensure the interview is conducted fairly, 3) Prevent inadvertent self-incrimination, 4) Provide advice on responses, 5) Can intervene if procedures aren’t followed.

Can I refuse a police interview?

For voluntary interviews, you can technically refuse, but this may lead to arrest. The police can arrest to interview if they believe it’s necessary. Always speak with a solicitor before making any decision about attending or refusing an interview.

What should I say in a police interview?

The appropriate response depends entirely on your specific situation. I will advise you on whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement, or give a ‘no comment’ interview. This decision requires careful thought and should be made with professional advice.

What are my rights during a police interview?

Your key rights include: 1) Free legal advice from a solicitor, 2) Right to remain silent (though with caution about consequences), 3) Right to contact your Embassy or Consulate, if you are not British, 4) Right to consult codes of practice, 5) Right to appropriate adult if vulnerable, 6) Right to interpretation if needed. I ensure all these rights are respected.

Can I change from the police-arranged solicitor to you?"

Yes, you can—and it’s a common request. Exercising your right to choose your own legal representation is normal and will not prejudice your case. I have represented numerous clients who were initially assigned a duty solicitor.

"Is your advice and representation free?"

Yes. My services at the police station are covered by Legal Aid at no cost to you.
