Facing a federal investigation is a serious situation. It's crucial to take immediate action to protect your rights and future. Whether you're under investigation for healthcare fraud, securities fraud, tax evasion, or have received a grand jury subpoena or criminal indictment, understanding and navigating the legal system quickly is essential. Here's what you should do when facing a federal investigation:

1. Stay Silent: You have the right to keep your mouth shut. Don't share any information or documents that could hurt your case, even if pressured by authorities. Understand the full scope of your right to remain silent so you can resist any attempts to get you to talk.
2. Respond When Required: If you receive a target letter, subpoena, or get formally charged, you must respond. But it's important to strike a balance between complying and protecting your defense strategies. A criminal defense attorney can help you navigate this complex situation.
3. Meet Deadlines: Every court case has strict deadlines. Missing even one can have serious consequences, even if you're innocent. Make sure you're aware of all deadlines and meet them with the help of your federal crimes lawyer in Baton Rouge.
4. Explore Your Options: Your goal isn't just to prove you're innocent; it's also to prevent the prosecution from proving your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That means exploring all defense options, from lack of intent to violations of your constitutional rights. Consult with a federal crimes attorney in Baton Rouge to create a strong defense strategy.
5. Act Quickly: Once you have a plan, don't wait to act. Take steps to implement your defense strategy promptly to explore possibilities for pre-trial resolutions before the prosecution commits to taking the case to trial. This could involve plea bargains or even potentially getting the charges dropped entirely.
