Federal Crimes

To their detriment, many people, instead of picking up their phone and calling their lawyer for advice, and using him to protect them, mistakenly listen to the agent’s misrepresentations that it is in their best interest to cooperate in an interview.  Even though an individual may be a savvy businessman or woman, or a very skilled professional in his or her field, most people lack the legal skills and necessary know-how to effectively deal with an FBI or IRS agent.  That is how they take advantage of you.
