When a person reports a crime or gives a witness statement, it can lead to them being charged with a crime, even if that person is innocent. Additionally, a person may have other reasons for not wanting to give a statement or otherwise cooperate with police. For these reasons and more, it can be important to have a good lawyer's help to assert a witness's legal rights. A good criminal lawyer shielding a witness from the tricks, lies and pressure that police sometimes use to get statements.

Grand Jury Witness Attorney
A Grand Jury is a tool of a prosecutor, to subpoena witnesses and evidence, and to request an indictment charging a crime against a person. Often, people summoned to a Grand Jury investigation to testify as witness is later indicted or charged with a crime as a result of their own testimony, even if that person was assured that they were not a target of the indictment before they testified. It is important to seek help and counsel form a good criminal defense attorney as soon as possible, before testifying in front of a grand jury.

Police Interrogation Counsel
In most situations, when a police officer, investigator, government employee or other person asks questions, the accused cannot be compelled by the government to answer. Any statements made by a person to police can be used against them. The accused cannot be forced to answer questions where there is any chance it could be used against them in a court of law; they have the right to have legal counsel. A lawyer can help protect them before it’s too late.

Immunity Lawyer
The typical response of prosecutors is to offer immunity to a witness who asserts their Fifth Amendment Privilege and refuses to testify. But there are several different degrees of immunity. Also, immunity granted in one jurisdiction is not binding upon another. A good criminal lawyer can help assert the witness's rights, to help the witness avoid testifying, or get the best possible, most complete immunity.
