Often people wait until it is too late to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer with expertise in federal court.We cannot emphasize enough: If you find that you are being investigated by a federal agency such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration or the Secret Service, the time to hire a lawyer is NOW!

By hiring Broden & Mickelsen prior to a criminal charge being brought, we are able to conduct our own investigation into the allegations. Often, witnesses are willing to speak freely prior to charges being brought but are not willing to talk to the defense once charges are pending. By hiring us prior to indictment, we can also meet with the government's agents in order to assess the government's case prior to charges being brought. We can also make a presentation to the United States Attorney's Office in an effort to persuade prosecutors not to bring charges.

In short, prior to charges being brought, we have a lot more options than once an indictment is returned. Retaining us pre-indictment could result in charges never being brought or, even if charges are brought, the pre-indictment investigation could greatly assist in defending the charges at trial. Moreover, often when a person is represented by a lawyer prior to indictment, the government will allow the person to self-surrender if an indictment is returned in order to save the person from the embarrassment of being arrested in front of his family or coworkers.

We never charge for consultations, so please call us immediately if you believe that you are being investigated with relation to a criminal offense.  You owe it to yourself to be proactive.
