Questions

Should I Seek Legal Counsel During an IRS Criminal Investigation?
Yes. Contact a federal criminal defense attorney immediately if IRS Criminal Investigation special agents contact you, request documents, execute a search warrant, or issue subpoenas to your bank, employer, accountant, or business associates.
Do not answer agents’ questions, provide explanations, or turn over records without legal advice. IRS-CI investigations often run for months or years before prosecutors file charges. Anything you say during that time can become evidence in a criminal case.
Your lawyer can communicate with investigators, protect your rights, preserve records, and assess the government’s evidence before the case reaches the indictment stage.
