# What if your friend says "I need a lawyer" (Jeg trenger en advokat) at the World Cup?

When a Norwegian friend uses the phrase "Jeg trenger en advokat" — even casually — take it seriously. They are signaling they need defense counsel. Stop them from talking to police, do not let them sign any documents, and call Attorney Rory Munns at 401-573-2265 immediately. The Royal Norwegian Embassy can also be contacted for consular assistance but cannot provide legal representation.
