Common Questions
Criminal law questions Heart Lake East clients often ask.
Can Heart Lake East clients reply if the other person contacts them?
Not if conditions prohibit contact. Save the communication and ask for legal advice before responding.
Should I screenshot messages?
Preserving records can help, but do not edit, delete, forward, or post them. Keep them private for legal review.
Can conditions be changed?
Sometimes, but changes must be handled through the proper legal process. Do not treat informal consent as a change.
