  • What should I do if I’m under investigation?

    If you are approached by federal or state agents, engage an attorney immediately.  This can make the difference between being a witness or charged in an indictment.
    If you have any indication that you are being investigated by the government, retaining an attorney is the best step you can take to protect your liberty. With John Kirby’s experience as a former prosecutor, he will be able to gauge your potential liability and engage with the prosecuting attorney to understand the government’s position and interest in you individually.

  • How long should I wait to contact an Attorney?

    You do not have to wait for the conclusion of the federal grand jury investigation to take action. In fact, proactively retaining a lawyer as early in the process as possible allows for the opportunities to work with investigators and prosecutor, setting the stage for a successful defense case, if not mitigating charges before they are even filed.

  • Why a former Federal Prosecutor?

    Our insight into the role of the federal criminal prosecutor means we know who our opponents are and we understand their tactics. We know how to get things done, even in the most complex cases involving federal white collar crimes and federal drug crimes. We will move quickly in order to protect your interests and your future.
