We
will keep all the details of this case strictly confidential, unless
and until we have your permission to discuss it publicly, (as in the
case of a press release/news conference or a missing person case), and WE
WILL NOT NOTIFY THE POLICE, (unless there are lives in
danger - at which time we are obligated to report the immediate danger
to 911, as though we are a just a concerned citizen).
All
reports and evidence will be retained by us, until
you instruct our staff differently (As in the case where
we'd be reporting to your attorney, or in the mean time, you
decide you need copies (which must be in compliance with all
privacy statutes, since much of the data is covered by local, state and
federal law). Statutorily, we must maintain custody of all
other evidence, until it's turned over to the court. If there is
to be an appeal, and the court deems it necessary, we maintain custody
and control of that evidence, until the case is adjudicated. We
wont even discuss the case with your spouse. Although,
if you'd like, we can secure a statement from your spouse. As
prior law enforcement, our staff has worked thousands of DV cases. Remember there IS a
light at the end of the tunnel!
