Should I Hire an SEC Defense Lawyer as Soon as I Receive a Subpoena?

Yes. An SEC subpoena usually means the agency has opened a formal investigation and has authority to demand documents and testimony. Do not ignore it, alter records, delete emails, or speak with investigators without counsel. Early mistakes can damage the defense and create separate legal problems.

An SEC defense lawyer can review the subpoena, preserve documents, manage communications with the SEC, prepare a response, and protect you during testimony. Matthew Cohan and his team have experience defending clients in SEC investigations.
