Grand Jury Investigations - Criminal Contempt Representation - Expungement, Probation, Writs of Appeal- Grand Jury Investigations

When individuals or corporations receive subpoenas as part of a grand jury investigation, they need an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent them. An astute lawyer can often protect them from unduly burdensome document requests, improperly handled administrative subpoenas, or extraordinary demands for information that go beyond the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Contact the Law Offices of Mark J. Werksman to schedule a consultation if you or your corporation is or may be the subject of a grand jury investigation.

We work to ensure that the government accords our clients all the rights and privileges that they are entitled to; that those issuing the subpoenas follow the rules of discovery; that law enforcement agencies handle evidence properly; and that only admissible evidence is released to the grand jury.

Los Angeles Pre-Indictment Rights Attorneys

As former federal prosecutors, we know how prosecutors and grand juries operate and how to present a client's defense in a way that maximizes any opportunity to deter charges or indictment and, when possible, to achieve a favorable pre-indictment settlement. Through our early intervention, we are often able to bring prosecutors and bureaucrats to the table in order to resolve matters out of court and deter prosecution.

Criminal Contempt Representation

We represent civil litigators and litigants in criminal contempt cases. We often win dismissals when our clients are facing criminal sanctions for allegations of perjury, forgery, or disobedience of other court orders occurring in the context of civil litigation.

Post-Conviction: Expungement, Probation, Writs of Appeal

We are often called upon to seek expungements of criminal records, particularly regarding crimes committed when our clients were juveniles. We assist clients in navigating the complex system that exists for the clearing of criminal records when a person reaches the age of majority.

Other post-conviction services that we provide include representation at probation revocation hearings and writs of appeals. If your lawyer says, "I tried, and I failed," contact a Los Angeles pre-indictment rights attorney at the Law Offices of Mark J. Werksman to schedule a consultation regarding your appeal, probation, or expungement.
