What Should I Do If I Am Under Federal Investigation?

FBI, DEA, IRS, ICE, Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Department of Defense (DOD), and other federal agencies are tasked to investigate civil and criminal violations of federal law. All these law enforcement branches have in common that they ultimately report to prosecutors at the U.S. Justice Department. There, federal prosecutors will make the decision whether or not to open a formal investigation or to even bring federal felony charges.

The former Justice Department officials and former federal prosecutors at Oberheiden P.C. know from decades on the frontline that federal investigations are extremely stressful—and can take years. Because a uniform database to look up who is under investigation does not exist in federal cases, the only way for you to find out if you are in fact under investigation is through experienced federal lawyers. The earlier you call the experienced attorneys at Oberheiden P.C., the more likely it will be that you avoid some of the common mistakes people make in federal cases.

Step 1: Are You Really Under Investigation?

The thought of being investigated is scary—and can sometimes lead to paranoia. If you believe you are under investigation, call the best federal lawyer you can find. Don’t overreact, don’t interpret, don’t assume. Keep the following in mind.

The FBI typically does not intercept phone conversations. Unless your case is one of international terrorism, national security, organized crime, or a crime involving minors, it is very difficult for the government to convince a federal judge to grant even limited and only temporary permission to wiretap your phone. Nonetheless, if you believe or have reasons to believe that you are under investigation, you should always speak, text, and communicate as if the FBI and your mother are listening in. No inappropriate pictures, racial comments, and no discussion about the potential investigation!

The FBI typically does not follow you around. Once you assure yourself that you are under investigation—even if you are objectively not!—you might feel that you are noticing people following you. Well, outside of extremely rare circumstances, the FBI (IRS, DEA, OIG) does not go shopping with you, will not follow you to the supermarket, and will not have dinner at a restaurant table next to yours. That’s simply not how the government investigates. What investigative promise could possibly derive from spending hours or days observing your routine habits? Unless the government thinks that following you will lead them to a co-conspirator, reveal a new target, or will catch you in the middle of an illegal transaction—the government will not conduct this level of surveillance. There simply aren’t enough resources. This also means that the black car you might suddenly see across the street is very likely not an FBI surveillance car. Put differently, if the FBI actually follows you around, they will do it in such a professional and discrete manner that you will not notice—otherwise it would defeat any and all purpose!

Step 2: If You Are Under Investigation

There are a number of (objective) ways to determine whether you are indeed part of an investigation. You may think you are under investigation because you have heard from acquaintances, friends, or former business partners that the FBI is interviewing people mentioning your name. Here are the most common scenarios.

• The FBI Wants to Interview You
• You Receive a Grand Jury Subpoena
• Federal Agents Raid Your House/Office
• You Receive a Target Letter
• You Get Arrested

Each of these events describes a verifiable indication that you are somehow involved in a federal investigation. The question then becomes: how am I involved? Federal lawyers typically distinguish three levels of involvement: witness, subject, or target.

As a witness, the government believes that you have information (e.g. emails, documents, any form of knowledge) about a case. As a target, the government believes that you committed a crime or helped someone else commit a crime as a co-conspirator. In such a case, you may receive a target letter, experience a raid, or ultimately you could get arrested. As a subject, the government is not sure whether you are a mere witness or a target.

In either way, the only way you will find out what the investigation is about and what your alleged involvement is is through your attorney. You can’t just call the FBI agent that left a card at your door and ask because the agent is not allowed to disclose the nature of a federal investigation. Your attorney, however, will find out from the agent and from the supervising government prosecutor, the Assistant United States Attorney. The earlier the best federal defense lawyer makes these inquiries for you, the more likely it is that you will influence whether you will end up as a target or a non-target. The longer you wait, the more time you give the government to investigate you, and the less time your attorney will have to turn things around. If you want early answers to your most pressing questions and if you want to dramatically increase your chances of escaping the investigation unharmed and without appearing in the newspaper one day, then call the experienced former DOJ prosecutors and federal defense attorneys of Oberheiden P.C. immediately.

Step 3: Don’t Talk to Law Enforcement

People have all kinds of thoughts once they realize that they are indeed under investigation. Human nature dictates that you will likely feel a need to protect yourself. In the context of an investigation this often leads to a fatal panic reaction.

The mistake is to tell yourself that you can handle things on your own. Because you did not do anything wrong, why should you need anyone’s help? This misconception often leads to you saying “yes” when federal agents come to your house (or your business) and ask you if you have a few minutes to answer a few questions. The agents will assure you that you are not in trouble and make use of the fact that they find you completely overwhelmed, uninformed, and unprepared. After all, you have never dealt with the FBI before and the mere fact that federal agents come to you puts you in such a state of shock that you trust their reassurance that the investigation is not about you.

Think about this. Why in the world would the FBI come to you if the investigation did not involve you in some way?  Note that the FBI is absolutely allowed to lie to you—and they will blindside you, they will lie to you, and they will tell you anything they consider promising for you to be chatty and volunteer information before you can think clearly and before you can hire a lawyer. Vise-versa, what you don’t know (yet) is that your natural reaction to be defensive, to not share any information that could make you look bad or even guilty, or to (slightly) minimize or misrepresent your knowledge or involvement in the matter they are investigating, can get you exactly into the trouble the agents promised you does not exist.

Here is why: Under federal law, withholding or misrepresenting mischaracterizing information (let alone: lying) in the presence of a federal agent constitutes a federal felony. Yes, that’s correct: (innocently) talking to an FBI agent is the equivalent to testifying in federal court under oath. Of course, the agents won’t tell you that—because who would then still volunteer for their interview? No one! Every single day people screw up their entire case because they can’t resist the temptation to “defend” themselves when FBI agents want to interview them. Don’t be one of them. Call Oberheiden P.C. attorneys first and let us find out for you what the investigation is really about—and what your role in the case is. Don’t ever talk to federal law enforcement.

Step 4: Don’t Destroy Evidence

The FBI just left your house. You are scared to death. You realize you are in trouble. What do you do? You start burning papers, deleting emails, and bulldozing your old phone. You call your buddy; your encrypted message tells him that you both need to meet asap but you can’t tell him why. Just meet me at the gas station. At the gas station, you tell your friend that the feds just showed up. You need to get this horrible visit off your chest. Your friend needs to know too because they may visit him next. You want to coordinate your stories. You come up with a joint version. The feds will be “impressed” because your friend will confirm exactly what you just told them. Out of an abundance of caution, you may also recommend for your friend to throw his phone in the nearest river and to quickly delete information from his laptop.

You just committed a serious crime. Obstruction of justice is a serious federal felony. Don’t delete files, don’t destroy evidence, don’t tell a potential accomplice about an investigation, don’t instruct someone how to testify, and don’t do anything else that could be interpreted as you are impeding or tampering with a federal investigation. You will never prevail with this approach. In fact, obstruction charges are what federal law enforcement calls a low hanging fruit. In times of computer forensics, advanced science, and highly trained special agents, chances you will get away with deleting evidence are below a measurable scale. Don’t ever do it.

Obstruction Of Justice Defense Law Firm

If the prospect of years of imprisonment does not deter you, consider this: federal agents are far from stupid. As the investigation progresses and the pressure increases and ultimately becomes unbearable, someone with knowledge of tampering or obstructing will tell the government—to obtain immunity for himself for disclosing. This someone could be your best buddy, your long-time partner, or even your spouse. Facing an additional five years in federal prison has that type of effect on people!

Step 1-4: Consult with an Experienced Federal Defense Attorney ASAP

More than 2,000 federal criminal investigations as former federal prosecutors in charge of FBI, DEA, OIG, IRS, and Homeland investigations have taught us that criminal charges are often avoidable. The earlier the best legal counsel intervenes in the case, the more likely it is that you will not end up in the newspaper.

That said, Oberheiden P.C. attorneys have avoided criminal charges in literally hundreds of cases and saved many good people like you from criminal exposure. Here are some of the investigation types we have resolved for our clients:
