Criminal investigations begin with police officers and law enforcement agents going out into the community to follow up on reports of criminal or suspicious conduct. In many instances, an individual or business will receive an inquiry from a police officer, federal law enforcement agent or other government official. Before engaging in a dialogue with any law enforcement official, it is wise to consult with and retain an experienced criminal lawyer who can help with fashioning the appropriate response to the inquiry. We have extensive experience in representing people and businesses who have been contacted by law enforcement. We can speak with the inquiring law enforcement agent and provide our clients with an assessment of their options as to how to proceed.
