Under Federal Investigation in Colorado Springs?
What to Do in the Event of a Federal Investigation
The first step you should take once you have been informed that you are
under federal investigation or suspect that you are under investigation,
is to speak to a Colorado Springs white collar crimes lawyer from my firm
before you say anything to your investigators. As the saying goes, anything
you say and do can and will be held against you in the court of law. At
The Samuelson Law Firm, my team of highly experienced legal professionals
and I will be able to advise and guide you throughout the entire investigation
process so that you never have to worry about taking a wrong step or saying
something that will hurt you in court. Once you have an attorney by your
side, almost all federal investigations follow a predictable set of guidelines.
About Federal Investigations of White Collar Crimes
The investigation of a
white collar crime usually falls under the jurisdiction of an Assistant United States Attorney.
This federal prosecutor will have almost unlimited resources and a number
of federal agents at his or her disposal. The prosecution team will go
through every detail of your case. They will pull or locate any and every
piece of relevant information they can get their hands on in order to
strengthen their case against you. These documents could include tax and
financial information if you are suspected of
tax evasion or mortgage and bank documents if you face accusations of
mortgage fraud.
The prosecution team will also be aided by an investigatory grand jury.
This jury is a group of 16 to 23 citizens with the power to subpoena an
individual the prosecution can use in their case. Individuals who have
received a subpoena must appear before the prosecution to answer any questions
or provide any documents they may need. The prosecution usually moves
very slowly, not taking any chances until enough evidence has been collected
to secure a conviction. No matter how serious your situation may seem,
my firm will always be right by your side. My legal staff and I are available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Federal crimes means that your rights and freedoms are under an unprecedented attack.
With the full weight of the government and its endless resources being
used in order to prove your guilt, you need to be sure that you have a
criminal defense lawyer that can aggressively fight on your behalf and
is not afraid to stare in the face of the prosecution on your behalf.
Attorney Chris Samuelson is this lawyer.
