FBI Investigation
Grand Jury Summons
Client, a reputable professional operating a well-regarded business, was surprised to receive an unexpected call from the FBI requesting a meeting. Believing he had done nothing wrong, he agreed to speak with agents and met with them without legal counsel. The agents stated they were simply seeking information. After the meeting, Client contacted Attorney Barabino for guidance. Attorney Barabino immediately engaged with the investigating agent, reviewed the relevant grand jury subpoena, and carefully examined the documentation outlining the scope of the FBI’s inquiry. Although the investigation did not allege any wrongdoing by Client, the government was seeking a particular piece of information tied to a broader, unrelated criminal matter. Attorney Barabino organized and submitted all relevant materials to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. After review, federal prosecutors confirmed that Client would not be required to testify before the grand jury. The investigation was formally closed.
RESULT: FBI Investigation Closed; No Testimony or Charges.
