Can someone attend the interview with me?

Yes. You have the right to have someone of your choosing (an advocate, friend, or someone from the prosecutor's office) attend interviews with you, if there is not a conflict.  An example of a conflict would be that the person you wish to attend the interview with is also a witness in the case.  One thing to keep in mind, however, is that whoever attends the interview with you may become a witness at trial. If you have someone in mind that you want to attend trial with you, it is best NOT to have that person attend the interview with you as well.
