Q: What should I do if I receive a letter stating I’m a target of a criminal investigation?
A: Receiving a target letter from a prosecutor’s office is a serious step in a criminal investigation. The letter usually outlines charges the government believes you may have committed and may propose a meeting with the prosecutor or agents.
If you receive such a letter:
- Hire a lawyer immediately. The letter indicates the government is likely to proceed with a prosecution of you.
- Do not attend any meetings with prosecutors or agents without legal representation. Your lawyer should contact the prosecutor to reschedule or cancel the meeting until you are prepared to discuss your case safely.
