Facing a Grand Jury Subpoena? Here’s What You Need to Know

The purpose of the grand jury is to determine if information warrants indictment for a crime. Their function in the process should encourage parties to create proper defense plans. With effective defense work, potential targets may be asked to serve simply as witnesses.

Do not underestimate the power of a grand jury subpoena. Subpoenas are fully enforceable by law and should not be ignored. An attorney can make proper objections to the subpoena on your behalf. In Dallas, grand jury subjects should consult with an experienced lawyer for a timely and proper response to a subpoena.
Don’t talk to federal agents. If federal agents contact you or your business, do not speak with them or agree to an interview. There is nothing to gain from speaking with an agent, despite what they may tell you. It is important to have your lawyer present. Federal law prohibits you from misrepresenting or lying to a federal agent. You can provide your name and identification to them. However, you should insist that any discussions occur with your attorney present.
Do not delete, alter, or destroy requested records. Do not destroy, alter, or tamper with any documents, records, communications, pictures, videos, or any other records you have been asked to provide by subpoena. Obstruction of justice is a federal felony.
Do not volunteer to provide information. A subpoena does not mean that every document or record in your possession must be handed over. Do not overly cooperate or share information not requested. A subpoena asks for very specific types of information to be submitted. Consult with an attorney. A lawyer can help you select and organize files to submit with an appropriate response.

Organizing Grand Jury Subpoena Responses

Providing false or implicating information during a federal investigation will create more problems. To reduce risks, you need to rely on an attorney to assist through the process. An experienced defense attorney can intervene once a grand jury subpoena is received. He or she can help confine and redefine the case’s scope.

Organize. Plan your defense in advance if you suspect a grand jury subpoena may be issued. Ensure that all records are in order, organized, and accurate. If they are not, take time to get organized. A healthcare practice must ensure that they are in full compliance with policies and that all training is up to date. Make sure to have your attorney review and approve employment contracts and 1099 forms. Have your financials reviewed and tax filings approved by your accountant.
Preserve. Criminal prosecution can be a separate matter if records are hidden, altered, tampered with, or destroyed. Promptly put in place a document preservation notice. This serves to notify staff and owners to preserve all documents and communications. Everything pertinent to the subpoena should be handled with care. A voluntary preservation effort can have a positive impact on the resolution of your case.
Produce. Contact your attorney as soon as you receive a subpoena. Your attorney will contact the prosecutor in charge to discuss details of the subpoena. He or she may request an extension, and expedite any requests made. While your attorney communicates with the government, you should begin collecting all requested materials. It can take several weeks to gather the information needed. Your attorney will review materials to determine what information you must submit.
