In some instances (especially those involving White Collar Crimes), one is either aware or is notified that they are the subject of an investigation by the police, the district attorneys office, or by another government agency. This can occur when an ongoing investigation is pending but where no formal charges have yet been brought.

Many people believe that they do not need criminal representation and that they can deal with the authorities themselves. Don’t make this mistake! Your freedom and liberty is at stake! This is precisely the time when you need effective and aggressive representation.

If you or a loved one are the subject of an ongoing investigation, the best you can do is get an experienced and aggressive attorney that can deal directly with the agency or district attorney involved. Do not make any statement without an attorney. Do not offer any documentary evidence or other information without the presence of counsel. Such conduct can often lead to unintended consequences and can only hinder your defense if you are charged.

At the Law Offices of Peter Berlin, we will deal directly with the authorities on your behalf to prevent the filing of formal charges. We will conduct a thorough investigation and protect your rights from further infringement.
