Criminal Defense FAQs

What if I have not been arrested, but am only under investigation?

If you are being investigated for a crime, it is highly likely that you will be arrested shortly.  As soon as you are aware that you are being investigated for a crime, whether it is a white collar crime or other charge, get legal representation.  Don't answer any questions from federal investigators, law enforcement or other investigatory unit without legal representation to advise you how to proceed.  It is true what you say and do will be used in the case against you, and "friendly" investigators are definitely not your friends.  You need legal counsel at once if you are being investigated on criminal charges.
