So what should you do if an FBI agent approaches you? Do you have to answer their questions? Should you agree to an interview? And when should you speak with a criminal defense attorney?
In this video, we explain what FBI agents may expect when they contact someone, the risks of speaking without understanding your rights, and why getting legal advice before responding can be critical.
📩 If you have been contacted by the FBI or believe you may be the subject of a federal investigation, speaking with an experienced criminal defense attorney can help you understand your rights and legal options.
