Chicago White Collar Crime Lawyer
DuPage County Criminal Defense Lawyers Many people do not realize white collar crime investigations begin with simple questions, often delivered by IRS, FBI or other federal agents. The agent may even appear quite friendly, giving no clue that interrogation is under way. Typically an investigation on insider trading, tax evasion, or other white collar crime may drag on for a year or longer before a grand jury is convened. If there is any clue you are being investigated, it is time to contact a lawyer—immediately. Know Your Rights

Your first few seconds of response in a criminal investigation can be very damaging moments. "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," extends well beyond the Miranda warning given during arrest. Even when you believe you are being questioned–just as a witness–it is wise to have an attorney present. All too frequently, witnesses turn into targets during police or federal investigations. An experienced white collar criminal defense lawyer can advise and interact with authorities on your behalf.
