In federal investigations, wiretaps are common. However, they require a court order based on probable cause. If you suspect you are being investigated, assume your communications are not secure.

Fees depend on the work required, including Alcotest review, refusal allegations, experts, motions, and trial preparation. Ask which services the fee covers and how additional proceedings affect the cost. The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan offers a free confidential consultation to review your case and discuss the representation you need.

Contact a federal criminal defense attorney before answering investigators’ questions or explaining payments, expenses, or grant decisions. Preserve emails, invoices, contracts, accounting files, and other relevant records. Avoid altering documents or coordinating accounts with others involved. Your lawyer will handle communications, review requests and deadlines, and assess the allegations before prosecutors decide on charges.
