Grand Jury Defense

Unlike state criminal prosecutions that usually begin with an "on the spot" arrest by local law enforcement, federal crimes - especially the major ones involving drug trafficking conspiracies or large-scale fraud - are normally charged by indictment. That means that over a period of weeks, months, or even years Federal agents have been investigating an alleged criminal conspiracy and collecting volumes of evidence against those involved. Only when the case appears to be "air-tight" will an assistant U.S. Attorney working out of the United States Attorney's Office presents evidence to a group of people who are gathered to decide whether you should be charged with a crime. If they decide you should be charged - based entirely on evidence submitted by the government - their decision is drafted into a formal indictment. Free Consultation

Parole offers opportunity for individuals in confinement to ease back into the community on early release due to good behavior.
