Grand Jury Proceedings

Defense Counsel Advice if You've Been Called Before a Florida Grand Jury

Legal Advice May Prevent Criminal Charges

A grand jury proceeding is an opportunity for federal prosecutors and law enforcement to gather evidence to build a case against you. It is extremely serious. Any time you receive a grand jury subpoena, you should consult with a lawyer.

The receipt of a grand jury subpoena triggers certain obligations on your part, including an obligation to preserve certain records if the subpoena calls for those records. Destruction of records — such as mortgage loan applications or appraisals — will be viewed as an obstruction of justice. Which is usually easier to prove than any underlying crime of mortgage fraud.

Even if you think you have nothing to hide, don't face a grand jury proceeding alone. There is a substantial risk that you will unintentionally do damage to yourself.
