— Frequently asked questions

Answers before the first call.

A target letter is a written notice from a United States Attorney's Office informing a person that they are a target of a federal investigation. Receiving one does not mean charges have been filed, but it is a signal to seek counsel before responding.

Federal cases are investigated by federal agencies, charged by grand jury indictment, prosecuted by United States Attorneys, and sentenced under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Procedure, timelines, and sentencing exposure often differ substantially from state court.

You are generally not required to answer questions, and you may state that you wish to speak with an attorney first. Speaking with counsel before any interview can help you understand your rights and the nature of the inquiry.

The firm handles federal criminal defense in the United States District Courts serving Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York, consistent with the jurisdictions in which its attorneys are admitted.
