Subpoenas and Search Warrants

Receiving a federal or state subpoena, facing the execution of a search warrant, or being served with a target letter is a clear indication that you are under criminal investigation. From that moment forward, every action you take will be examined by prosecutors. These situations require immediate legal counsel who understands your rights, the investigative process, and how to protect you while ensuring proper cooperation. Missteps in responding to subpoenas or during the execution of search warrants can give prosecutors additional evidence and significantly strengthen their case.

Experience Navigating Critical Investigative Procedures

Daniel Fortune defends clients facing investigations, subpoenas, warrants, and target letters. His background as both a federal prosecutor who issued subpoenas and obtained search warrants, and as a defense attorney who challenges them, provides clients with crucial guidance during these pivotal stages. He understands what prosecutors are seeking, the evidence they rely on, and how early and strategic intervention can influence the direction of an investigation.

Protecting Your Rights During Subpoenas and Searches

When federal agents execute a search warrant at your home or business, when you receive a grand jury subpoena for documents or testimony, or when a target letter notifies you that you are the focus of a criminal investigation, immediate legal action is essential. Fortune Trial Attorneys advises clients on asserting Fifth Amendment rights, preserving privileged communications, responding to document requests, and navigating grand jury proceedings. We also file motions to quash improper subpoenas, challenge overly broad or defective search warrants, and move to suppress evidence obtained in violation of constitutional protections.

Our firm has represented clients in matters involving the Department of Justice, FBI, Secret Service, DEA, IRS, FDA, State Attorney General Offices, and various prosecutorial agencies. Daniel Fortune understands how each agency conducts investigations and the legal standards governing their use of subpoenas and search warrants. Whether the matter involves a federal grand jury subpoena in a white collar investigation, a state search warrant in a drug case, or a target letter in any criminal inquiry, we provide focused and informed guidance during these high-stakes events.
