If I'm Contacted by Federal Investigators?

So you've been contacted by federal investigators. GULP. Your heart's probably racing, your palms are sweaty, and you're wondering what the heck to do next. Take a deep breath - we've got your back.At Spodek Law Group, we've seen it all when it comes to federal investigations. From white collar crimes to drug offenses, there's no case too complex for our seasoned attorneys. We know exactly how scary and overwhelming it can feel to have the feds knocking at your door. But here's the thing - how you respond in these crucial early moments can make or break your case.

What to Do (and NOT Do) When Federal Agents Come Calling

First things first - DON'T PANIC. Easier said than done, we know. But keeping a cool head is critical. Here are some key do's and don'ts to keep in mind:

DO:

• Be polite and respectful to the agents
• Ask for the agents' credentials and business cards
• Tell the agents you want to speak to an attorney before answering questions
• Take detailed notes about the encounter after the agents leave

DON'T:

• Lie or make false statements to federal agents (that's a crime!)
• Consent to a search without a warrant
• Agree to an interview without your lawyer present
• Discuss the investigation with anyone other than your attorney

Remember, federal agents are HIGHLY TRAINED in interrogation techniques. Even seemingly innocent statements can be twisted and used against you later. That's why it's absolutely crucial to have an experienced federal defense lawyer by your side from the get-go.

Types of Federal Investigations You May Be Facing

Federal investigations can cover a wide range of alleged crimes. Some common types we see include:

• White collar crimes (fraud, embezzlement, money laundering)
• Drug trafficking and distribution
• Cybercrime and identity theft
• Tax evasion
• Public corruption
• RICO violations

No matter what type of investigation you're facing, the stakes are incredibly high. Federal prosecutors have virtually unlimited resources at their disposal and conviction rates over 90%. You NEED a legal team that knows how to go toe-to-toe with the feds.

Listen, we get it. Hiring a lawyer is expensive. You might be tempted to try handling things on your own, at least at first. But we can't stress enough how RISKY that approach is.Here's the deal - the moment federal agents contact you, you're already at a major disadvantage. They've likely been building a case against you for months or even years. They have a game plan and they're looking to trip you up.With an experienced federal defense attorney in your corner, you level the playing field. We know all the tricks and tactics federal investigators use. We can:
