The early stages of an investigation bring a myriad of opportunities to negotiate with federal prosecutors and perhaps persuade them not to file charges. These early stages also can be extremely dangerous for the unwary, especially for those innocent of the allegations being brought against them, whose first inclination is to answer every question asked. White-collar criminal investigations are complex and lengthy. Seemingly innocent statements or actions made by an individual subject to a federal investigation can often damage a case beyond repair.
Never appear before a grand jury or answer questions from any law enforcement personnel without the advice of an attorney with a great deal of experience in these types of investigations such as Art Leach.
