Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a state case and a federal case?

State cases are prosecuted by a county district attorney in Superior Court under California law. Federal cases are prosecuted by a U.S. Attorney’s Office in U.S. District Court under federal statutes. The courts, rules and sentencing frameworks differ.

Does being arrested mean I will be charged?

No. A prosecutor decides whether to file charges, ask for more investigation, or decline, and charges can change as a case develops.

Can I get in trouble for what I tell a federal agent?

Potentially, yes. Knowingly making a materially false statement in a federal matter can itself be a federal offense, so many people speak with a lawyer before agreeing to an interview.

Does a DUI arrest start more than one proceeding?

In California it can: a criminal case in court and a separate DMV action on the driver’s license, each with its own deadlines. Ask about the DMV deadline right away.

What should I do first if I am under investigation?

Do not discuss the matter with investigators, keep your documents and messages, and speak with a criminal defense lawyer before answering an interview request, subpoena or search warrant.
