Federal Crimes: How Do I Defend Myself Against Federal Prosecutors?

News & Info

If you are the subject of a federal crime investigation, chances are you won’t know until the prosecution has already gathered most of the evidence. You should find an experienced lawyer to defend you quickly, because once federal agents have gathered their evidence, they will try to get a confession out of you. Your best rule of thumb is to use your right to remain silent around any federal officers because they may use what you say at any time as a confession.

When it comes to building a strong defense against federal charges, it’s important to have an experienced team of lawyers on your side.
