Understanding the Target Letter
Before we dive into defense strategies, let‘s go over what exactly a federal target letter means and doesn‘t mean:A target letter indicates:
- Federal prosecutors have gathered evidence implicating you in a crime
- They are seriously considering filing charges and securing an indictment against you
- You have a narrow window to try and persuade them not to indict before it’s too late
A target letter does NOT mean:
- You have definitely been charged with a crime yet
- You have been indicted by a grand jury
- You are definitely going to be convicted
It’s a pivotal moment – the feds are closing in, but you still have a chance to derail the charges if you act swiftly and decisively. That‘s where we come in.

What Happens Next? Potential Scenarios
So you’ve hired Spodek Law Group after that ominous target letter arrived. What could happen next? Here are a few potential scenarios:
You Avoid Charges Entirely
In an ideal situation, our team can short-circuit the entire case before charges are even filed. How? Through a multi-pronged approach:Investigation: Our private investigators will comb through every shred of evidence, looking for holes in the government‘s case. If there are deficiencies in their proof, we‘ll expose them.Grand Jury Strategy: We‘ll use our extensive experience to strategically cast doubt on the prosecution’s narrative when they present to the grand jury. This can keep you from being indicted.Negotiation: Our attorneys are masters at negotiating with federal prosecutors. If we can underscore weaknesses in their case, we may be able to persuade them to drop the matter entirely to avoid an embarrassing failed prosecution.While avoiding charges is difficult, we’ve pulled it off for countless clients across all types of federal cases. It’s always our goal.
You Negotiate a Favorable Pre-Indictment Plea
If we can’t derail the charges completely, our next aim is to resolve the case through a plea bargain – but on our terms, not the government‘s.Our negotiating power comes from our ability to apply immense pressure on prosecutors. Through vigorous defense work, we’ll find the soft spots in their case that make them doubt their chances at trial.This allows us to negotiate from a position of strength. We may be able to have charges reduced or even have you avoid prison time altogether in exchange for a plea.While no plea is ideal, it beats the alternative of an indictment, trial, and potential conviction on the original charges. Our goal is to minimize the damage as much as humanly possible.
You Take Your Chances at Trial
In some cases, the evidence may seem stacked against you, but we identify constitutional violations or other issues that make us confident we can win at trial.Our trial attorneys are not merely talented – they are gladiators in the courtroom. We will fight tooth and nail, putting the government to its burden of proving every element of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.We’ve won countless federal trials by poking holes in cases that seemed airtight and planting seeds of doubt in jurors’ minds. No matter how dire the situation looks, going to trial is always an option with our elite team in your corner.
You Become a Witness
In complex federal cases, prosecutors often try to turn small fish into witnesses against bigger targets. If we can show your role was minimal, we may be able to negotiate having you avoid charges altogether in exchange for testimony.However, we‘ll ensure any such deal has strict use and derivative use immunity. This means your testimony can never be used against you, no matter what. It’s an intricate process, but one we’ve navigated many times before.As you can see, there are multiple potential paths after receiving a target letter. Our role is to evaluate your specific situation and chart the course most likely to lead to the best possible resolution for you.No matter which direction we go, one thing remains constant – our unwavering commitment to protecting your rights, your freedom, and your future at all costs.
