FAQ
What Do I Do if Federal Agents Contact Me?
If you are contacted by federal agents, it is crucial to exercise your right to remain silent and seek legal representation immediately. Politely inform the agents that you wish to speak with your attorney before answering any questions. Anything you say can be used against you, so it is best to wait until your lawyer is present to ensure your rights are protected.
How Long Does a Federal Criminal Case Take?
The duration of a federal criminal case can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the charges involved, and the court's schedule. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years to conclude. Your attorney will work diligently to expedite the process while ensuring a thorough and effective defense strategy.
Can Federal Charges Be Dismissed?
Yes, federal charges can be dismissed under certain circumstances. This may occur if there is insufficient evidence, if your rights were violated during the investigation or arrest, or if there are legal issues with the prosecution's case. A federal criminal defense attorney can identify potential grounds for dismissal and work to have the charges dropped or reduced.
