Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I receive a government subpoena or search warrant?
Contact legal counsel immediately. Do not destroy any documents or discuss the matter with anyone other than your attorney.
How long do government investigations typically last?
The duration varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the agencies involved, and other factors. Some investigations conclude in months, while others may take years.
Should I cooperate with a government investigation?
This is a strategic decision that should be made in consultation with experienced counsel. While cooperation can sometimes be beneficial, it's important to understand the potential risks and implications.
What's the difference between a criminal and civil investigation?
Criminal investigations can lead to criminal charges, while civil investigations typically result in monetary penalties or regulatory actions. The same conduct may be subject to both types of investigations.
