Minneapolis, MN criminal defense attorney Ryan Garry talks about what you should do if you receive a target letter. He points out that a target letter is a formal notice issued by a United States Assistant Attorney to an individual under consideration for investigation in connection with a federal crime. Receiving such a letter typically indicates that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is interested in questioning the individual regarding the alleged offense under review. He emphasizes that no one should meet with the U.S. Attorney’s Office without the guidance of an experienced federal defense attorney. This is critical because providing false or misleading information to a federal agent—whether an FBI agent, postal inspector, or other federal official—can itself serve as the basis for a criminal charge in federal court.
