San Diego, CA criminal defense attorney Sharon Appelbaum talks about what clients should avoid when they are under criminal investigation. She suggests that clients must avoid speaking with law enforcement, posting on social media, or discussing the case with anyone in their personal circle. Even well-intentioned comments can inadvertently compromise a case or spread inaccurate information. Her firm prioritizes maintaining a “clean slate” to develop an effective strategy and protect the client’s reputation. She emphasizes that minimizing public exposure helps prevent media coverage or statements that could potentially harm both the client and the outcome of the case.
