North Carolina Grand Jury Lawyers, Criminal Defense Attorneys
In civil and criminal federal cases, the consequences can be serious for a business and for individuals. Our knowledge of the investigative procedures used by federal law enforcement is invaluable as we help clients avoid the dangers of a federal investigation.
In any interview with the FBI, IRS, SEC, OCC or any other federal investigator or a U.S. attorney, the answers to even simple-sounding questions can be damaging. Your attorney should be with you, guiding you through what can seem like a minefield of questions.
We represent corporations and individuals, including records custodians and corporate officers and managers. We never assume, and neither should you, that the investigation will stop with civil charges. There is often the potential for criminal charges.
