A false criminal allegation was filed against me which would have caused many problems in my life including a ruined reputation.

Protect Your Freedom, Good Name, and Future

Every second is critical if you are being investigated or have been charged with a federal or state crime—contact the John T. Floyd Law Firm team of experts immediately to start protecting your rights and building a powerful defense.

What should I do if a federal agent visits my business or serves a subpoena?

K

L

Do not answer questions or hand over records without counsel present. Politely inform the agents that you wish to cooperate but must consult your attorney first. Immediately contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Anything your employees say can be imputed to the business, and missteps at this stage can result in obstruction of justice charges.

Should I hire a lawyer if I am under investigation but haven't been arrested?

K

L

Yes. The pre-indictment phase is often the most critical window in a criminal case. Retaining a law firm early allows the team to step between you and law enforcement, protecting you from self-incrimination, conducting an independent investigation, and potentially convincing prosecutors to drop the matter or decline to file formal charges.

What do I say if the cops call me back or show up at my house?

K

L

You do not have to talk to them. You are legally protected by the Fifth Amendment. Cooperating without a lawyer present is the number one way innocent people accidentally implicate themselves.
