Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I have to speak to police if they contact me about an investigation?
No. You are not required to answer questions without a lawyer. Even if officers say they “just want to talk,” statements can be used against you. Politely decline and request legal counsel.
Legal fees depend on the case stage, number of defendants, and evidence involved, including wiretaps, informants, and financial records. Ask what the fee covers, from detention hearings and negotiations to trial, sentencing, and appeal. The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan offers a free confidential consultation to discuss the allegations and explain the legal work your case requires.

Learn moreA conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 666 carries up to 10 years in federal prison. Individuals generally face a maximum fine of $250,000, although the alternative fine rules permit a higher amount based on twice the gross gain or loss. Sentencing depends on the facts, including the loss amount, role in the offense, and abuse of trust. Related convictions increase potential exposure.
