- Q. In upstate ny Is it legal for a sheriff to ask me questions over the phone rather than in person?
- A: You called the sheriff and asked him a questions, then he asked you one. You can answer him or decline to answer. Even if he called you, you do not have to answer the questions of a law enforcement officer unless you want to. On the other hand, if an officer stopped you in person for reasons he believes are related to a crime, you have to at least show him your identification but you still do not have to answer any questions unless your rights are read to you first, and that includes your right to have an attorney before you talk.
- Q. I think my attorney's paralegal drafted my will - is that okay?
- A: A paralegal can not draft a will. Only an attorney should draft a will, review it, discuss it with you and finalize it with the appropriate revisions, if any. Now, if the paralegal created an initial draft and the lawyer reviewed it, revised it and finalized it then that is fine. In sum, a lawyer must supervise his non lawyer staff and is always ultimately responsible for any documents produced for you.
- Q. Is my lawyer really representing the cop because he is friends with the department ?
- A: Police Officers can call the officer who is listed on the PBA card. So I do not see anything wrong with the officer who stopped your wife with calling the brother in law.
Next, it cannot be said whether or not the lawyer is representing the other side just because he is friends with the police. That is a loaded question that is impossible to answer. The lawyer is representing your wife. However, if you do not trust him then you should find a lawyer whom you trust. Not having faith in your own lawyer is a good reason to find someone else.
