Responding to a Government Investigation

A state or federal government agency will generally only choose to expend resources investigating an individual or business when they have reason to suspect unlawful conduct. You may learn you are the subject of an investigation when you are visited by government officials or receive a request for documents. In these instances, you are not typically legally obligated to provide access or additional information, and it is generally not in your best interest to do so without first consulting a qualified attorney.

Hire legal representatives as soon as you believe you or your business may be the subject of a government investigation. If you voluntarily decline to answer questions or provide access to individual or company devices, the investigating agency may seek warrants that force compliance. You will want knowledgeable legal guidance before this occurs. Our team can help you understand and enforce your rights in these situations. If necessary, we can begin preparing a proactive defense if we expect formal charges to be filed.

How a Criminal Conviction Can Jeopardize a Professional License in Texas

Being convicted of a crime can result in numerous penalties, including incarceration and hefty fines. As a licensed professional working in Texas, there is potentially even more at stake. Under the Texas Occupations Code, anyone with a professional license can lose their certification as a result of a criminal conviction.
