Absolutely. This is a mistake that people make all the time. They come and talk to me; they tell me that they're being investigated, but for whatever reason - maybe it's usually because they don't want to pay the money yet, and they think it will all just go away - they don't hire me right away. They wait, and then they're charged by the federal government, and then they're in federal court, and then it's much more difficult for the attorney to get the charges to go away. It's very important that if you're being investigated, that you speak to an attorney and probably hire that attorney because that attorney may be able to make the charges go away. Also, if not make the charges go away, at least work out some type of arrangement or deal so that you don't get arrested, and so that the damage that's coming your way is minimalized.
