Do You Need Pre-Charge Representation?

If I had to give one and only one piece of advice it would be this, "Do not talk to the police, DEA, FBI, IRS, DOJ, HSI, or ICE without having an attorney present." If I could give one more piece of advice it would be, "Don’t wait until you are arrested to hire an attorney."

Many criminal cases in which I am involved have their genesis in a pre-criminal charge agency investigation. Perhaps, the IRS is asking about your tax returns or your payroll reporting. Perhaps, a search warrant has been served at your home or business. Sometimes, regulatory agencies like the FDIC or the EPA send you a letter requesting records or a meeting.

Make no mistake when a federal or state agent invites you in, serves a warrant, or simply knocks on your door to ask you a “few questions.” You are likely the target of a civil penalty or criminal investigation. Even if you are told, “This is a civil matter,” the reality is that anything you say, or any evidence you provide to the investigators can likely be used against you in a subsequent criminal or civil prosecution.

Timely consultation with an experienced attorney can help you to carefully navigate these pre-charge investigations and decide whether and under what terms you may be able to cooperate with the agency involved.
