Responding to a State or Federal Criminal Investigation
If you are the subject of a criminal investigation, you will be terrified, humiliated and bewildered. Police tactics are designed to get results for police rather than to protect the rights of citizens. At the San Antonio, Texas, law firm of Brown & Norton, our attorneys have years of experience helping clients get through federal and state investigations. More important than our experience, however, is our determination to protect the rights of people who have become of interest to the government.
Cooperation is seldom enough
Attorneys Alan Brown and Jay Norton bring years of experience in these matters. They know the strategies that police use to investigate and build a case. They know how important it is to be careful and cautious. People often believe that if they are cooperative the problem will go away. Sadly, this is seldom true. Get advice and representation that make a difference. Contact Brown & Norton.
We advise and represent clients in matters related to:
- Search warrants
- Questioning and interrogation
- Investigations
- State and federal forfeitures
Obtain legal counsel from the start
Get legal counsel from the beginning. If it is not handled correctly from the start, an investigation has a strong chance of leading to an arrest and indictment. We advise clients about incriminating evidence, the spousal privilege and favorable evidence that argues against the government's case. If you or your loved ones have been contacted by the police, child protective services or another government agency, speak with a lawyer before you respond to their inquiries. It cannot hurt and may prevent you from being arrested and charged.
Timing is everything
Even if the investigation results in an arrest and a criminal charge, how the investigation was conducted can affect the outcome of the case. We make sure that evidence favorable to you is preserved; on occasion, exculpatory evidence "disappears." We need to be involved from the beginning.
Do not hesitate to call; a lot is at stake
