Pre-Indictment Investigation Attorney Bloomington, IL

Need Assistance in Pre-File Investigations in Illinois?

Criminal charges are not always filed immediately. In many cases, law enforcement officials conduct an investigation first. Sometimes this investigation involves the officers coming to your door and speaking with you about allegations of an assault or another crime. Other times, the investigation is much more thorough, particularly in cases involving sex crimes or white collar crimes.

If you believe you are under investigation, you are not required to cooperate with law enforcement and answer their questions. In fact, officers are trained to get you to waive your rights and incriminate yourself. It is often better not to work with them directly. Instead, you can enlist an experienced Bloomington, IL pre-file investigation attorney to protect your rights.

At Johnson Law Group, our Bloomington, IL pre-file investigation lawyers will start fighting immediately to prevent charges from being filed against you. Call us at (309) 565-8825​.
