On August 16, 2022, our firm scored a massive victory for one of our clients! Our firm obtained a substantial variance in a federal Methamphetamine drug case – where the advisory Guidelines were from 57 – 71 months to 48 months in the District of New Jersey.

Our firm is always ready and willing to defend our clients in any case and jurisdiction. Many of our clients contact an attorney because they are advised (or find out) that there is an ongoing investigation into potential federal criminal law violations revolving around them or their companies. While most criminal charges begin with an arrest, many people are brought into the criminal process when they are approached by federal law enforcement officers or threatened with criminal charges by a letter sent to them from the United States Attorney’s Office. These individuals are considered federal grand jury targets – they are the “target” or “subject” of a federal criminal investigation.   Some people are also advised to be considered a “witness” of an investigation rather than the subject or target.  In either situation, it is essential to have a federal criminal defense attorney who can lead you through the frightening and complex area of grand jury investigations.

Experience shows that having an attorney get involved in the process as early as possible can frequently be beneficial. The attorney should be licensed to practice in the federal jurisdiction where the charges are being investigated and be familiar with the court system and the Assistant United States Attorneys and federal agents in that location.  Suffice it to say, this cannot be overstated; no one should speak to the Government or any federal agent without an attorney.  Many people believe that since they have nothing to hide, they should be able to speak freely to the Government.  However, that action has frequently turned out to have a detrimental effect.
