I went to the hospital because of a fight I got into with my boyfriend

Question: I went to the hospital because of a fight I got into with my boyfriend. It was a misunderstanding and I have no desire to press charges and have not asked to press any charges. A detective called and said I had to come to the station to sign papers saying I had no intent on pressing charges but according to my boyfriend his lawyer thinks I shouldn't go down there.
also, I'm not sure if it's important but the police did respond to the incident when 911 was called for an ambulance to get me to the hospital. are police always dispatched when 911 is called or did someone tell the police to come?

Answer: Very interesting. Why did you need an ambulance for a misunderstanding? I suspect that now that you have called 911, there will be some follow-up investigation. When 911 is called it means there is an emergency, not a misunderstanding. When 911 was called, did you specifically ask for ambulance, probably NOT, which is why the police responded. When the police reponded, you probably gave them a brief desciption of what occurred before you were transported. So, now the police intend to follow-up. Good luck.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
