If an FBI agent want to talk to me but I am still waiting for a legal representative to represent; is there a time limit that I have to get back to the agent?

Hi,My name is XXXXX XXXXX X'd be happy to answer your questions today. We have recently implemented a new payment and feedback system. Please note that you are asked to rate my courtesy and professionalism, and not whether the answer supports your legal position. I only receive credit when rated 3 or higher. If for any reason you feel that a lower rating is appropriate, please first give me the opportunity to address your concerns by clicking the "reply" tab. I appreciate your patience while we adjust to the new system.You're not legally required to respond at all - there's no law that says that you have to talk to the police. That means that there isn't a set time limit. If the officer who called said something like, "I need to talk to you before Wednesday...", then it might be in your best interests to call before that date, if you want to talk to them. But he doesn't have to wait any specific amount of time for a reply, if they want to press charges, and the option to talk to him doesn't close after a certain amount of time. If you have any questions at all about what I've written, please reply so that I may address them. It's important to me that you are 100% satisfied with the service I provide. Otherwise, please rate my service at 3-5 faces/stars so that I get credit for helping you today. Thank you.
will they come back again or try other mean to contact me? if yes, how and what can they do?
If they really want to talk to you, they'll either call again or knock on your door. You are free to hang up the phone, or ask them to leave. You could also just not answer, but if they think you're not home, they may come back.A district attorney could Subpoena you to testify before the Grand Jury, if they believed that you had information relevant to an on-going investigation, but they cannot compel you to testify against yourself. The Fifth Amendment says that they can't force you to tell them things that they can use against you. So, they can ask you to talk to them. You can refuse. They can then continue to gather evidence against you. If they get enough evidence to support a conviction, they can file criminal charges against you. But they can't ever force you to talk to them against your will - you're protected by the Constitution.
