Grand Jury Investigations

Defense Attorney in Grand Jury Investigations

Prosecutions for DUIs, simple possession, domestic violence, and the like involve facts that allow prosecutors to pursue these cases by filing an information or a criminal complaint.  However, complex white collar crimes and drug conspiracy charges generally begin when a grand jury returns an indictment.

A grand jury investigation takes place in secret, the process can last for weeks or months where prosecutors present evidence and take the testimony of their investigators and witnesses.  If you are under criminal investigation for federal drug charges or complex white collar crimes involving money laundering or fraud, your exposure to criminal liability is almost unlimited.  You can prevent the filing of criminal charges or minimize your liability by working with an experienced attorney during the early stages of the investigation.

Attorney Victor Sherman can guide you through this critical process by:

  • Determining if you are the main target of the investigation, or if you are a person of interest, or only a witness.
  • Review all pertinent evidence you are required to provide pursuant to a subpoena or as part of ongoing negotiations with the U.S. Attorney or the District Attorney’s Office.
  • Complete an independent investigation, identify relevant information that the prosecuting authorities are providing to the grand jury. In addition, our office will focus on finding factual information that can help exonerate you, minimize your exposure, or steer the investigation to other targets.
  • Supervise the progress of the investigation and maintain you apprised of all the developments in the investigation.
  • Prepare you to testify before the grand jury, help you invoke your Fifth Amendment Right against self-incrimination, as well as advise you about the statements you will provide to law enforcement and to prosecutors.
