FAQs

Should I go to a voluntary interview?

Get advice first. The approach depends on disclosure, evidential gaps, and risk profile. We’ll plan a proportionate strategy.

Will going “no comment” harm me?

Not necessarily. It’s a tactical choice. We’ll weigh potential adverse inferences against disclosure quality and case theory.
