When Do You Consult an Attorney for Criminal Defense?
Thursday, March 31st, 2011When do you get in touch with a criminal defense attorney? Timing is essential in this regard. If you suspect that you are under scanner for a white collar crime, find an attorney immediately. The sure signs of investigation are –
A federal or state investigator contacts you for questioning
You get a subpoena to testify at an investigation by the grand jury
You get a ‘subject/target’ letter mentioning an ongoing investigation
You receive a search warrant that orders seizure of business records
You get a subpoena to produce business documents before the grand jury
Whether anything like this happens to you, or you just suspect an investigation, you need a white collar defense attorney to represent your case.
