Sir, this seems common sense advice, but when regarding this question I've also heard conflicting advice from LEO? Specifically experienced LEO have told me when responding to say a home defense shooting, their perception is folks who immediately start lawyering up from the get go generally have something to hide. Obviously the truth matters, but so does the perception of the responding LEO? Specifically every cop in America is swamped with more cases than he should be, there will of course be an investigation, but the officers perception of what occurred and the way he presents the case plays no small part in determining which cases go to grand jury?
