The old adage, "think before you speak" has never been so apropos especially for Boise Criminal Lawyers and Boise Divorce Attorneys dealing with evidence in divorce and criminal law cases. With social media "out there" for everyone to post everything about themselves and their lives, if you are involved in a divorce or custody case or in a criminal law matter, you really really need to think before you speak. Judges in Idaho routinely accept facebook or twitter evidence as a statement by a party opponent. What you say on your facebook can and will come back to bite you.
If you are involved in a divorce, custody or criminal law matter you might take my advice and keep your posts tame. The real problem comes in when you make the posts before you get involved in family law issues or criminal defense matters. It might seem odd that a recreational tool like facebook or twitter can result in the use of evidence against you. The policy behind it is that you were the one that made it public and you clearly are the one who said it. If you are prone to exaggeration or hyperbole on your social media outlets, you might want to consider the consequences.
If you have family law issues or need a good criminal defense attorney, give us a call. Our lawyers are here to help you and we always offer a free consultation. Give us a call today, you will be glad you did.
