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.

Look for an attorney who understands SEC enforcement and related criminal investigations. Your lawyer should assess how document responses, testimony, and negotiations affect both matters.

Contact a criminal defense lawyer promptly and keep the complete letter, envelope, attachments, and related communications. Your attorney will review the letter’s purpose, identify deadlines, and advise you on responding. Avoid contacting prosecutors to explain yourself or agreeing to an interview before obtaining legal advice. Preserve messages, documents, and digital records.
