What is a grand jury subpoena?
If you’re accused of a crime, hire an experienced criminal lawyer who understands how to deal with grand jury subpoenas – ASAP.

SOME PRACTICAL TIPS
- Contact an Attorney Immediately
We are available 24/7. Don’t delay. An experienced criminal lawyer will guide you on how to handle the subpoena, what to say (and not say), and how to protect your rights. - Follow the Submission Deadlines
Grand jury subpoenas have VERY strict timelines. Missing the grand jury subpoena might trigger legal consequences—so plan ahead for compliance or filing motions if you object. - Don’t Destroy Evidence Ever
It might be tempting to hide, or destroy anything, you think is incriminating. Resist that urge. Actions like this can result in obstruction of justice charges. - Ask About Immunity
In some cases, cooperating with the grand jury can lead to immunity offers. But you should only consider that if you fully understand the implications.
