In order to start building your defense, there are a number of steps you need to take right away. At the The Criminal Defense Firm, we have developed a nationally recognized Emergency Defense Package that our clients can use to take proactive measures in order to limit their chances of facing civil or criminal charges. In addition to deploying our Emergency Defense Package, you should also:
Avoid talking to investigators without your attorney present
Make sure your employees do not talk to investigators without legal representation
Make sure you know the deadlines for responding to any subpoenas (but do not respond until you speak with an attorney)
Make sure your employees do not destroy any records that may be relevant to the investigation
Collect any records or other evidence that you think may aid your attorneys in building your defense
