Skilled Counsel in Grand Jury Investigations
Prosecutions based on allegations of serious crimes like racketeering, public corruption, conspiracy, larceny or complex narcotics cases may require indictment by a grand jury prior to charges being brought. Unfortunately, the grand jury process can take weeks or even months, leaving you in suspense about whether or not you will face charges. The only evidence heard at these hearings comes from the prosecution and their witnesses.
If you are called before the grand jury, you do not always have the right to have a lawyer present. This one-sided process gives the prosecution a distinct advantage. Proactive counsel like that offered by the attorneys at Culleton & Marinaccio, Attorneys at Law, can work on your behalf throughout the duration of the grand jury proceedings and beyond to any criminal charges arising from it.
