Why is it important to call a lawyer right away?
In some cases, a good lawyer will present your side of the case to the police or the prosecutor, even before a charge is filed. In other cases, it is best to remain silent. In either event, you will not know what your options are unless you talk to a lawyer right away.

If I hire a lawyer, will it look like I'm guilty?
Failure to get good legal advice from the start is a far more dangerous option. If you were very ill, you would seek medical advice early to keep from getting worse. The same applies to legal advice.

Will it be confidential?
A lawyer has a duty to maintain the confidence and secrets of a client, and may reveal them if, and only if, the client consents.
