What if the defense attorney contacts me about the case? Do I have to talk to him/her?

October 09, 2024

Before speaking to anyone about the case, you should ask to see the person’s identification. You are under no obligation to talk to anyone. You have the right to refuse to discuss the case with the defense attorney or you may agree to speak with him or her only in the presence of the District Attorney. The only time you have to speak to a defense attorney is during a hearing or trial when you are under oath. You should report all contacts to the District Attorney’s office.
