This is a criminal matter and should be treated seriously and carefully. Therefore, do not speak with the police without first having consulted with an attorney. You are under no legal obligation to meet with them, even if they should coe to your house. In fact, if you do decide to go to the police station, your lawyer should be present.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
