North Carolina Federal Grand Jury Defense Lawyer
Before specific federal felony charges are filed against you, prosecutors must take their case in front of a grand jury to determine whether there is enough evidence to indict you. Grand jury proceedings include written defense arguments and evidence presented in order to obtain a dismissal, also referred to as a "no bill." Your grand jury defense representative will need a strong understanding of legal motions and constitutional points of law relating to preparation of evidence, including polygraph test documentation.

Why you need an experienced attorney if you are called to be a witness
If you have received a subpoena to be a witness at a grand jury proceeding, you must be aware of your constitutional rights. During a grand jury hearing, you may be required to answer questions relating to the subject of the hearing. It is easy to say something which may incriminate you or implicate you in the charges being investigated. This may quickly turn you from a witness, into a target. It is always a good idea to talk to an experienced attorney to explain the grand jury process and inform you of your constitutional rights.
