Federal Investigations and Federal Criminal Charges
Before you are charged with a crime, it is important to know that you cannot make any false statements to federal law enforcement officials. Even if you are not under oath, you could be punished with up to five years in prison. This is why we recommend hiring an experienced federal crimes defense lawyer as early as possible.
In addition, it is very unlikely that you can say anything on your own that will positively affect your situation. You can, however, unknowingly say things that could deeply hurt your interests.
