Q: I got an email from google saying that my account is subpoena by police department and the states attorney.
I got a copy of the subpoena from google but I don’t have to appear in court my name or address is not in the subpoena they only request google to turn in the documents they want.I have no idea why this happened and I am confused.
Am I being investigated?I haven’t been contacted by any law enforcement by now.What should I do if they contact me ?
A: You should discuss the matter with counsel in a confidential setting. If you are contacted by the police, you should not speak with them without an attorney present.
Mark Oakley agrees with this answer
A: Retain counsel now so you have an attorney lined up to call in the event you are contacted by police or charged. A experienced criminal defense lawyer can act much more quickly and effectively than you can to protect your rights and secure your release on bond in the event of arrest and detention (if it comes to that). Meet to discuss possible criminal charges in private and not on a public forum like this. Do not discuss anything with police without your lawyer present. Once you invoke your right to an attorney after an arrest, all questioning must cease.
