Digital ink fingerprint over textured paperUndergoing a federal government investigation in South Florida can be frustrating. The government may make you feel unsafe by contacting you or paying you a surprise visit. Our federal criminal attorneys know that it can be difficult to feel relaxed when you know you are constantly being watched and monitored. In fact, Federal Government Investigations can last for up to 5 years.

What is a Federal Government Investigation? 

A federal government investigation is when the government monitors one closely in attempts of uncovering illegal activity they believe the individual is involved in. The government may ask the individual being watched for documents or show up unexpectedly to visit the person.

Federal government investigation agencies include the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Secret Service, Environmental Protection Agency,  and more. 

Anybody can be subject to a federal government investigation, including government employees.

According to 28 U.S. Code § 535:

The Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may investigate any violation of Federal criminal law involving Government officers and employees … without limiting the authority to investigate any matter which is conferred on them or on a department or agency of the Government.

Officer with evidenceCONSEQUENCES OF BEING UNDER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION

Being under Federal Government Investigation can have harsh consequences that negatively alter the rest of your life.

If the government investigators decide to charge you with federal criminal charges after an investigation, they could bring you to court and pile up heavy allegations against you. Without experienced federal defense attorneys to fight for you, the punishments for being found guilty of a federal crime can be elevated and excessive.

Why am I under federal investigation in South Florida?

  • You may be under federal government investigation if someone filled out a crime report against you or if a defendant in a criminal case outed you as someone committing a federal crime
  • You may be under federal government investigation if the government is trying to determine whether they can collect direct evidence against you for a case. If they find direct evidence that links you as a potential culprit to a crime, they may bring you to court. If they only find circumstantial evidence, you may be let off without going to court.
  • You should never speak to a law official or give out information without consulting your attorney. You do not want to accidentally incriminate yourself or give the state or federal government any leverage in the case they may be building against you.

Federal Government Investigations Defense Strategies 

There are many different types of defense strategies a skilled South Florida federal attorney can employ to help defend your rights when you’re under investigation. 

Two examples of defense strategies could include:

  • Lack of justification or proper probable cause: If officers conducted any forceful investigations, such as searching your home, without proper probable cause or justification we may be able to argue that they had no solid basis of conducting the investigation. If the officers found any incriminating evidence, the evidence may be thrown out if the reasoning for the investigation cannot be justified. 
  • Victim of misconduct: If a law enforcement officer behaved viciously with you, we can argue that the officer behaved unlawfully and was not conducting the investigation with just reason and authority. 
  • According to Statute 42 U.S.C. § 14141:
  • It shall be unlawful for any governmental authority, or any agent thereof, or any person acting on behalf of a governmental authority, to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers or by officials or employees of any governmental agency with responsibility for the administration of juvenile justice or the incarceration of juveniles that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
  • Misconduct includes a false arrest, sexual assault, discriminatory behavior, and excessive force.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
