As a suspect, you can be interrogated not only after having been arrested, but also at the invitation of the police. Suspects are always entitled to advice from a lawyer prior to the interrogation. The right to be assisted by a lawyer should never be waived. An attorney can inform a suspect of his rights and council the suspect on the criminal process. 

When there is insufficient evidence to detain a suspect, the police may cordially invite the suspect for an interview. The police will want to collect additional evidence through the interrogation. For this reason, it Is wise to always contact a criminal defense attorney before accepting the invitation. It is important for an attorney to make a proper assessment based on the concrete facts and circumstances in the case.
