What to Do When FBI Agents Come Knocking

It’s 6 a.m. or 8 p.m., your doorbell rings and two people are standing outside holding up their badges and credentials.  They say they are Special Agents with the FBI and would like to talk with you for just a few minutes about something important.  They ask if they could come in to speak with you privately.  Caught off-guard, and not wanting them to think that you have anything to hide, you invite them in (and, of course, you don’t want your neighbors to see them talking to you on your front steps).  The agents are “friendly” and just have a few questions to get your input, your side of things.   You decide to talk to them, only for a few minutes, in the comfort of your own home or office.  At the end, they thank you for your time and hand you either a grand jury subpoena or a “target letter.”  They say that you should get an attorney, or if you can’t afford one, the court will arrange for an attorney for you.

The Financial Realities of the Criminal Justice System

Your client comes to you and says that he “wants his day in court,” he wants to fight the charges all the way and that he will never plead.  You sit down and carefully review the facts of the case, the evidence known to date, the potential defenses, and eventually the potential penalties he faces.  You then discuss what it will cost to defend the case, the amount of time and money it will take to thoroughly review the discovery, conduct your own investigation, research the issues involved, draft the motions, argue the motions, trial preparation and trial.  The client sits there stunned.  Having never before had to pay for anything more than a simple will, real estate closing or speeding ticket, the idea that the aggressive, full on defense that he wants and needs will cost tens of thousands of dollars for a typical state case, and perhaps hundreds of thousands for a federal case, is sobering.

How to Choose a Criminal Defense Lawyer

            Choosing the right attorney to represent you in a serious criminal investigation, arrest or Indictment, is critical to the outcome and potentially the client’s freedom.   While many lawyers advertise that they “handle all types of criminal matters,” upon closer examination you may likely find that these firms are generalists that handle motor vehicle tickets, minor drug charges, divorces, personal injury and the like.  That may not be the firm that you would entrust your freedom to.

The War On Doctors

There is an alarming trend towards aggressive investigations by state and federal authorities on physicians.  Whether it is by the state medical boards, DEA or federal or state prosecutors, doctors’ practices are subjected to heightened scrutiny.  While this may be traced to the war on drugs, recent deaths related to the abuse of prescription opioids, and the criticism the DEA has faced for its failure to develop measureable results in its enforcement efforts; the genesis is less important than the trend itself for those subjected to the harsh spotlight of scrutiny.

Wrongful Convictions Do Happen

Police investigations and criminal trials are, in an ideal world, intended to discover the truth, identify the guilty, and exonerate the innocent. Unfortunately, the world we live in is far from ideal, and investigations and trials are conducted by human beings who are vulnerable to error, prejudice and, at times, outright corruption. Sometimes, despite the sincere best efforts of everyone involved, mistakes are made and a wrongful conviction occurs. Other times, as in the case of Barry Gibbs of New York, something more sinister is at work. Mr. Gibbs served 17 years of a second-degree murder sentence before it was discovered that the investigating detective had framed him to cover up a Mafia-related killing.
