What To Do if the Feds Come Calling
Navigating Federal Investigations: Protect Your Rights with Carlo D'Angelo, Federal Criminal Defense Attorney
If you find yourself contacted by a federal agent or suspect that you are under investigation, it is critical to understand your rights and seek the guidance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately. Carlo D'Angelo is here to help you navigate this complex process and protect your interests every step of the way.
What to Do If Contacted by a Federal Agent
Federal agents are skilled at gathering information from suspects, often catching them off guard. Remember that anything you say can be used against you in a prosecution, so it is crucial to exercise your right to legal representation. Inform the agents that you want a lawyer present before answering any questions. This will typically halt the questioning and provide you with time to consult with an attorney.
Carlo D'Angelo can help you determine whether you are a target of a federal criminal investigation or merely a potential witness. If you are a target, it is essential to understand that federal prosecutors and agents likely have some evidence linking you to a crime, and you may be facing indictment, arrest, and prosecution.
Understanding Target Letters and Federal Investigations
A target letter indicates that a federal investigation has been ongoing, and federal agents have been building a case against you. However, not all suspects receive a target letter before prosecution, as the federal prosecutor may want to keep the investigation under wraps to avoid tipping off the suspect or risking witness tampering.
If you suspect that federal agents are investigating your activities, don't wait to hire a lawyer. An experienced federal criminal defense attorney like Carlo D'Angelo can help you avoid prosecution by working to get the case dismissed before an indictment.
Federal Agents May Show Up Unannounced
Federal agents often travel in pairs and may show up at your home or place of business to catch you off guard. These agents are well-trained in extracting information from suspects. Consult with a qualified criminal defense lawyer before you say anything to protect yourself.
Take Action and Protect Your Rights
If you believe you may be a target of a federal grand jury investigation or a potential witness, consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney like Carlo D'Angelo before saying or doing anything. You have the right to legal representation, and exercising that right can make all the difference in your case.
