Have you received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice notifying you that you are the target of a federal grand jury investigation in the Middle District of Florida?
If so, you are in serious legal jeopardy—and time is not on your side.
A federal grand jury does not determine guilt or innocence. Its purpose is to decide whether there is probable cause to file formal criminal charges in the form of an indictment. These proceedings are one-sided: the government presents its case, often including hearsay, documents, and testimony that would not be admissible in a trial. You are not allowed to present your own defense or challenge the evidence.
This means the U.S. Government is actively working to bring charges against you—and may do so very soon.
What You Need to Know About Federal Grand Jury Investigations
A federal grand jury investigation allows the government to:
- Present nearly any evidence, regardless of admissibility at trial
- Subpoena records, documents, and witnesses
- Move toward issuing an indictment without notifying you in advance
If you are the target of a federal investigation involving allegations of fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, or any white-collar crime, it is critical to secure a knowledgeable federal criminal defense lawyer with experience handling high-stakes cases in federal court.
