What to Do If You Receive a Federal Grand Jury Subpoena

Getting that dreaded letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office is terrifying. A federal grand jury subpoena means the Department of Justice has targeted you or someone close to you for a criminal investigation. Maybe you’re just a witness…or maybe you’re the prime suspect. Either way, how you respond could make or break your case.

At Spodek Law Group, we get calls every day from panicked individuals asking “What do I do? I just got a federal subpoena!” Here’s our advice:

Critical Steps When You Receive a Federal Subpoena

StepActionWhy It’s Critical
1. Don’t Panic, But Take It SeriouslyIgnoring a federal subpoena is a surefire way to make a bad situation catastrophicYou could be held in contempt of court, fined, or even thrown in jail
2. Exercise Your Right to Remain SilentThe 5th Amendment allows you to avoid making self-incriminating statementsDon’t say a word to prosecutors until you have a defense lawyer present
3. Hire a Federal Criminal Attorney ImmediatelyNot just any lawyer, but one with extensive experience handling federal grand jury matters specificallyWe have a proven playbook for managing subpoena responses, negotiating with prosecutors, and protecting your constitutional rights

At Spodek Law Group, we’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate this daunting process. We know all the tactics federal investigators use to try and flip witnesses or extract incriminating statements. With our attorneys by your side, you don’t have to face this alone. One call puts our expertise to work for you right away.

Understanding the Federal Grand Jury Process

To build an effective defense strategy, it’s critical to understand how the federal grand jury system works. Here’s a quick overview:

A grand jury comprises 16-23 citizens who review evidence and testimony presented by federal prosecutors. Their sole purpose? To determine if probable cause exists to indict someone for a federal crime.

Unlike a normal trial, there is no judge present and no defense lawyers allowed in the room when witnesses testify. It’s a one-sided process where prosecutors call the shots.

If the grand jury issues a “True Bill,” that means they believe probable cause exists and formal charges will be filed. A “No Bill” indicates insufficient evidence for an indictment.

Key Grand Jury Terms and Roles

StatusDefinitionWhat It Means for You
TargetPerson prosecutors believe committed the crimeHighest risk – likely to be indicted; need attorney immediately
SubjectPerson whose conduct is within scope of investigationUnder suspicion – could become target; legal representation essential
WitnessPerson with information relevant to investigationStill at risk of self-incrimination; should consult attorney before testifying

How the Federal Grand Jury Process Works

StageWhat Happens
Investigation BeginsFederal agents and prosecutors gather evidence
Subpoenas IssuedWitnesses and documents subpoenaed to grand jury
Grand Jury Convenes16-23 citizens hear evidence presented by prosecutors
Witnesses TestifyNo judge, no defense lawyers allowed in room during testimony
Grand Jury VotesDetermines if probable cause exists for indictment
“True Bill” or “No Bill”True Bill = indictment issued; No Bill = insufficient evidence
Formal Charges FiledIf True Bill, defendant faces federal criminal charges

As you can see, the deck is stacked heavily in the government’s favor from the start. That’s why having a skilled federal criminal lawyer managing your case from Day 1 is absolutely crucial.

Our attorneys know all the laws and procedures involved in federal grand juries. We’ve handled thousands of cases just like yours. We understand how to leverage every possible advantage to undermine the prosecution’s case and clear your name.

What Sets Our Federal Criminal Lawyers Apart

You may be wondering what makes our federal criminal defense attorneys different from other law firms in Houston. After all, there’s no shortage of lawyers claiming to be the best.

Here are a few key advantages that separate Spodek Law Group from the competition:

1. We’re a Boutique Firm That Specializes in Federal Law

At some big law firms, federal criminal defense is just a small part of their overall practice. Their attorneys juggle all kinds of cases across many different areas.

At Spodek Law Group, federal criminal law is our sole focus. It’s what we’re trained in, it’s what we’re passionate about, and it’s what we do best. All of our experience, knowledge, and energy is laser-focused on this highly specialized field.

2. Our Team Includes Former Federal Prosecutors

You know the old saying – it takes one to know one. Several of our lead attorneys used to work as federal prosecutors themselves. We know all the tactics, strategies, and mentalities on the other side because we used to be on the other side.

This insider knowledge allows us to anticipate the government’s next moves and develop counterattacks. We understand how federal investigators build cases because we built those cases ourselves earlier in our careers.

3. We Have Extensive Courtroom Experience

Some law firms try to resolve every federal case through plea bargains to avoid trial. While that works in some situations, we also have the confidence and skills to fight for you at trial when needed.

Our federal criminal lawyers in Houston have taken hundreds of cases to trial across the country. We know how to select juries, cross-examine witnesses, call out prosecutorial misconduct, and powerfully present evidence and arguments in your favor.

4. We Leverage a Team-Based Approach

Federal criminal cases are extremely complex and document-intensive. To provide you with the best possible representation, we take a collaborative team approach.

Our attorneys, paralegals, investigators, forensic experts, and other staff all work together seamlessly. We pool our collective knowledge and experience to find holes in the government’s case and develop innovative defense strategies.

5. We Genuinely Care About Our Clients

At Spodek Law Group, we treat every client like family. Your case isn’t just another file number to us. We take the time to truly understand your unique situation so we can tailor our representation for optimal results.

Our attorneys are passionate advocates, not just billable hour-loggers. We’ll stand by your side through every step of your federal criminal case, from the initial charges all the way through to a potential appeal if needed. Your future is our top priority.
