Proven Bank Fraud Lawyers Serving Tallahassee
No matter what the circumstances are of your federal offense, it is best to speak with a bank fraud attorney before you say anything to an investigator or police officer. It is true that anything you say can and will be held against you, so we urge you to exercise your right to remain silent until you have secured representation from a Florida federal criminal defense attorney.
Your lawyer will carefully examine all the evidence in your case in an effort to find a defense to your charges. If there is too much evidence against you, and conviction cannot be avoided, it is still very helpful to have an attorney who will negotiate a lesser sentence on your behalf.
