Q: What should I do if federal agents have executed a search warrant at my home or business?
A: If federal agents execute a search warrant at your home or business, it is critical to retain a lawyer immediately. The issuance of a warrant reflects a serious and advanced stage of investigation: to obtain the warrant, agents must have prepared a sworn affidavit, presented it to a judge, and demonstrated probable cause. This indicates that the criminal investigation is well underway. Because of the seriousness of the situation, it is unlikely to resolve without legal guidance. Your lawyer can protect your rights and advise on the appropriate next steps.
