It’s not a bad idea, but it can cost thousands just to retain a lawyer.
If you can protect your rights, by knowing what they are, you can talk to them and likely get them off your back. If they have slam dunk evidence they wouldn’t be questioning you. If you’re guilty, then you should probably remain silent or at least know what type of answers you shouldn’t give. You could be guilty as hell and still answer a ton of questions if you know which questions necessitate incriminating answers and which ones don’t.
Why shouldn't you retain a lawyer first? It really depends on the situation but getting a lawyer first is never a bad idea.
