Cleveland Grand Jury Investigation Defense Attorneys
The principal purpose of grand juries is to review the evidence gathered by the Government to determine whether sufficient evidence exists for the case to move forward. Grand jury proceedings are confidential. At Synenberg & Associates, LLC, our team of attorneys, led by former Assistant United States Attorney Roger Synenberg, has represented numerous businesses, business professionals, doctors and lawyers who were either targets or subjects of grand jury investigations. In these circumstances, avoiding formal criminal charges and maintaining confidentiality are top priorities since even an acquittal, after a public trial, cannot restore an individual's or business' reputation and standing within a community.
Almost all state and federal cases in Ohio involve a grand jury investigation. Because cases can be halted due to lack of evidence and other legal matters, grand juries can present an excellent opportunity to dispute the allegations and avoid criminal charges from ever being filed. At Synenberg & Associates, LLC, we make every effort to resolve cases during the grand jury phase if possible. When allegations are dismissed during a grand jury investigation, the prosecution cannot pursue its case against you.
Experienced Grand Jury Investigation Defense
If you or your business has received notice that you are currently under investigation, please contact us immediately. Now may be the time to start presenting your criminal defense, in the pre-indictment phase, before formal charges are leveled.
Grand jury investigations are intended to be discreet and confidential. Government agencies are forbidden to discuss investigations outside of procedural channels in order to protect their case, as well as the rights and privacy of those being investigated. However, prosecutors can still subpoena records and other evidence in an effort to strengthen their case.
We can help in your grand jury investigation defense. Our firm has a long history of success in fighting for pre-indictment rights and of halting criminal investigations at the grand jury phase. We can work to demonstrate a lack of evidence during your grand jury investigation so that you never face criminal charges.
