Pre-court advice


When you hear that the police want to speak with about an investigation, you should contact us immediately.

We will arrange a suitable time for you to attend the police station and avoid any embarrassment of being taken away in the back of a police car.

You must remember that you have a fundamental right to silence when detained so you are not required to answer any questions other than confirming your name, address and date of birth.

You also have the right to have your lawyer informed that you have been detained and the right to a private consultation, normally via telephone, with your lawyer before the interview. So if you are detained, make sure that you ask the police to contact us immediately.

If you don’t tell the police that your lawyer is Scullion Law, you could end up with a lawyer working from a call centre through the Legal Aid Board’s helpline.

It is important to note that following the private consultation, anything you say during interview can be used against you at court so it is important to remember that you can make no comment.

If you are charged with an offence make sure that you ask for us.

The police will decide whether you will be released to appear at court at a later stage or whether you will be kept in custody and appear at court the first day the court is opened after your arrest.

If you are released from custody and later receive court summons from the Fiscal, contact us. If you are kept in custody, you must tell the police and Reliance officers at the court cells that we are your lawyers.

If you don’t ask for us when you arrive at the court cells, you may end up with a lawyer that you don’t want.

Always remember to ask for Scullion Law.
