Are You Under Investigation for a Federal Crime?
Frequently charged in the federal courts, most white collar criminal defendants are put on notice of a federal investigation before they are formally indicted by a grand jury. If federal law enforcement agents have questioned you, or if you have received a summons to appear before a grand jury, it is extremely important that you obtain skilled counsel immediately.
The investigative period prior to formal charges offers you an excellent opportunity to protect yourself through counsel in many different ways:
- Advice about whether and how much to cooperate with the investigation
- Advice about your grand jury testimony
- Early engagement with the prosecution to determine your status in the investigation - are you a target, a subject or a witness?
- Negotiation of the turnover of documents and other evidence to the prosecution to save you the trouble of an FBI raid at your home or office
- Testing the quality of the government's evidence against you
Effective representation prior to indictment can often reduce or eliminate most serious charges that the government might have had in mind for you. By narrowing the issues and reducing the charges, we are able to concentrate our defense in the areas where you are most vulnerable.
