Federal Grand Jury Investigations

Federal Grand Jury Investigations in Los Angeles, CA

If you are called upon to testify or provide documents to a Federal Grand Jury, it is critically important that you understand the risks and protect your interests. Federal grand juries have enormous power, and consist of a maximum of 23 individuals. A minimum of 16 must be present in order for the grand jury to form a quorum. If 12 or more members vote in favor of an indictment, then that indictment is “returned," meaning the indictment is approved to go forward for prosecution.

DEFENSE CONSIDERATIONS

You are at risk of dire legal consequences almost any time you testify before a grand jury or provide documents. Your lawyer cannot join you in the room with the grand jury, but he can be positioned just outside and you have the right to spend time conferring with your lawyer. The law also allows you to leave the grand jury room and brief your lawyer, and you can take notes that can be shared with your attorney.

Protecting yourself in grand jury testimony can sometimes involve invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, and there are times when a person who is genuinely innocent can and should invoke his or her Fifth Amendment privilege. Corporations cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment; however if you are called to testify as a business custodian, it is important to understand that you are only required to respond to a very specific and narrow spectrum of questions.

Do not attempt to respond to a Federal Grand Jury subpoena without first seeking experienced legal counsel familiar with the procedures and pitfalls of grand jury investigations.

Call us today if you are required to testify before a grand jury.

Hello, I met Mr. David Elden back on 1982, I was a young guy working as a valet attendant and going to school. I was working as a valet attendant in the same building where David's office was. David was a young attorney and from the moment I met him, I knew that David was an amazing human being, he never treated me like I was just a parking attendant, he was always very pleasant, funny and full of good energy. That was what I loved about David. Unfortunately one day back then, I was in the wrong place, wrong time and with the wrong people and I got in trouble. I was told by a friend, that when David heard what happened to me, he did not think twice and decided to take my case without any hesitation. Thanks to David's representation and generosity, I have been able to have a good family in this wonderful country. I have been married for almost 39 years, I have two amazing kids. A son and a daughter. Both of my kids are professionals, my son graduated from Northridge University and my daughter from USC university with a maters degree. Last month when I heard of David's passing, I could not believed it, it was a very sad day for me. I felt like if have lost someone of my own family. Mr. David Elden always believed that everyone in this world should be giving a second chance, I am leaving sample of what David believed in. David will always have a very special place in my heart and, I know that this world would be a better place if it would have more people like David. David besides being an amazing human being, he was an excellent attorney. Well respected and admired by a lot of his colleagues. Dear David RIP, I love you, I will miss you and I know that one day I will see you again. Mario A. Burga

I am so Thankful for having met Victor Sherman. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He eased the process of dealing with legal issues, and solved all my problems with complete confidence. I highly recommend Federal Criminal Defense Group to everyone I can.

I walked in with a problem, and walked out with a solution. A very well connected and highly professional firm. I had the pleasure of meeting Victor Sherman. A straight shooter, No BullS%*t. The man knows his ways to make sure his clients are well taken care of. Still in disbelief, how talented he is and how quickly my problem was resolved. Highly Recommend!

I was surely going to prison prior to contacting Victor Sherman. Upon seeking his counsel and advice. I fired my old attorneys and retained Victor. He then defended me so eloquently and brilliant and I ultimately was sentenced to probation.

Attorney Victor Sherman and his paralegal Rachel helped my family have a piece of mind during uncertain times. They thoroughly explained what had to be done and never made us feel rushed. Our case was a lost cause, but thanks to Victor’s valued experience and intellect, he came to an agreement with the defendant’s attorney that gave my family a sense of security. Thank you Victor and Rachel for the countless hours you dedicated.

I hired David Elden after being arrested for felony possession. I was 30 and had never been in trouble with the law before. It was a really scary time and David really helped to ease my mind. His rates were really competitive and he did a amazing job at representing me. He did such a great job in fact, that after the court appearance, the arresting officer came up to me and said "you have a wonderful attorney." I walked away with a slap on the wrist and a stern reminder from David to "stay out of trouble", which thankfully I have done. I appreciate David and what he did for me so much. In my opinion you would be hard pressed to find a better defense attorney in any price range. Thanks again David!

If I could I would honestly give 10 stars!! David Elden is a very dedicated attorney. I was involved in a very complicated situation and I had spoken to close to a dozen attorneys and no one would take on the case. David was highly recommended by a family friend and I am so thankful for that. David was upfront and honest with me from the beginning. I had every confidence in him that he was looking out for my best interest. Anytime I had any question or concern he was easily reached by phone and email. Most importantly he was successful in reaching a positive outcome. I also want to thank Clarena who is his assistant she was always so kind and professional. Thank you! N.B.

I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Elden during a court hearing and I was impressed by the way he handled himself in front of the judge. He was prepared and demonstrated a deep understanding of the law; in fact, at the end of the hearing the judge complemented Mr. Elden on his knowledge and dedication to his client. I would recommend him!

David Elden has been my criminal defense attorney colleague for forty-five years. I have represented clients along with David many times and in many states in both state and federal courts. David Elden is one of the smartest lawyers I know and have ever had the pleasure of working with. David is honest and honorable in every aspect of his life and his practice. I recommend David Elden without any hesitation for anyone looking for a first rate criminal defense attorney.

David and his team did an incredible job for me!!! They handled everything, made sure I knew what to do, what to say, and where to be. They solved my problem "like magic"; I didn't miss a day of work or a night of sleep. David gave me his personal contact information, and when I called, he answered. He is an attentive, knowledgeable, professional attorney. His rates are totally reasonable. Thanks for everything guys!!!

Got all charges dropped against my son -- Highly Recommended

My youngest son was accused on attempted murder and our family fell apart. I called a civil lawyer friend of mine and he recommended David. I met with David and his staff and I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and legal knowhow. We all felt outraged because my son had nothing to do with the attempted murder and was completely innocent; in fact he wasn’t even there and didn’t know the victim. It was a tough couple of moths but justice prevailed with the help of David. He was instrumental in showing the prosecution that they had the wrong person and the charges where dismissed. My son owes David Elden his freedom and I would not hesitate for an instant in recommending David to anyone needing the best defense attorney.

Thank You David

Earlier this year David represented a family member of mine in a criminal case which didn't look very good for us in the beginning which led us to hiring David's law firm. After we hired David, we were very happy with his experience and it turned out to be very valuable. The results of our case certainly worked out in our favor. Thank You David.

David's Experience Made The Difference

After one meeting with my public defender I knew I needed to hire an attorney. Public offenders are free but spending the money to hire an experienced lawyer kept me out of prison and saved my job and reputation. David was a huge help to me and my family, we couldn't be happier and highly recommend David Elden.

I highly recommend David and his team

Mr. Elden was very patient with me to start and I appreciated that compared to other lawyers I spoke to. He does his job for the love of it not just for the money like most lawyers I talked to when I was calling around to different law firms. He answered or returned my phone calls even after hours and also on weekends. HIs experience shows when you discuss your case because he has handled all sorts of criminal and federal crime cases. He handles your case and doesn't pass it off to another associate lawyer or someone with less experience or none at all. When it comes to payments he will work with you and do his best to understand your situation. He always kept me informed about my case. I am so beyond grateful to David.

detail oriented lawyer

Through out my entirely overwhelming situation David kept me in the loop on a regular basis I never had to confront him or question exactly where I stood during my case. This was a huge relief due to the stress I was going through. Great man, Great law firm.

Excellent Lawyer

When I was first contacted by the FBI regarding my case, I had no idea what to do. David was recommended to me by a friend and colleague, and I am glad I chose him to represent me. Initially, I was facing up to several years in jail, but with his help, I ended up with probation. David's experience and connections were crucial in my success. He kept me well informed and was always accessible by phone and email. During such a stressful and tumultuous time in my life, I felt confident with him on my side. I truly got the sense that he cared about me as a client, and I am grateful for what he did for me.

He Cares About People!

Mr. Elden was wonderful! He is professional and carries the heart of a teacher. He will explain the complexities of law in a very simple way and lays down a foundation of understanding so that you will know what the next steps are and what to expect. He was honest with me and my situation. He even explained that his representation wasn't necessary in my situation and that I didn't need to hire him. Imagine that! A lawyer who cares about people more than money! David Elden is a true professional and in the event that I need his services, I will definitely be coming back. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a questionable spot and needs professional advice or representation!

David is an amazing soul

After meeting with several attorneys I finally found David I knew within the first five minutes of talking to him he was the man I needed to hire . I am a licensed real estate agent and was arrested for burglary charge . I have no previous criminal history and my license was at stake . since I did not understand law David sat down and explaid everything to me in a very simple format. he was able to get the case rejected pending further investigation . I am hopeful that this is all going to go away w I am hopeful that this is all going to go away . David is a wonderful man and I highly recommend anyone out there facing criminal charges

I am honored to give David Elden the highest rating possible. He has done outstanding work not only for my family but my business as well. He is hard working, dillagent and knows the law as if he had written it himself. He has had a profound affect on my business when one of our employees was arrested during an altercation where he was accused of the type of crimes that would put you in prison for life. David got involved in the case and my employee was out of jail in a day and he never again saw the inside of a cell. When my Son was arrested for violations when he was a teenager David not only got him off but had the record expunged so that he did not carry the stigma with him into adulthood. This man has changed the lives of many prople that he has represented and he needs more recognition . I wholeheartedly support him to be your next attorney.

I recently met with Mr. Elden while looking for a criminal lawyer who had experience representing someone who was accused of a crime they didn't commit that involved shoplifting. Even thought it was a complete misunderstanding for my own protection I wanted to have legal representation and I had found David Elden online after a few searches. I met with him in his office and he reviewed my file and laid out a number of different options for me. He eventually talked to the local district attorney and with the help of video camera footage the city realized it was a complete misunderstanding and they dropped the case. It is possibly I may have been able to achieve the same results on my own but why risk it. Mr. Elden was fair and professional and I am positive I made the right decision. It was a scary experience although a minor situation but you never know. I appreciate the work they did on my behalf.

There's only great things to say about Mr. Elden.. I went to him with a problem that my Husband had, and he did his very best in helping me resolve it. He also made sure I understand everything, every step of the way. Mr. Elden is very Professional an is very Passionate about his work. It doesn't get any more real then that. Honesty an straight forward is all you can expect from him, not all what we hear about lawyers. All I know is, we had a problem an he not only helped but didn't mind every time I had more questions. He made sure we new our next steps all the way thru to the very end. My Husband and I are so grateful for Mr. Elden.. I would recommend him to anyone, with HIGH Recommendations. In need of a lawyer!

I wish I could give Mr. Elden 10 stars, this gentleman is very informed on the laws of the land and does everything in his power not only to keep you informed, but to go to his full extent to resolve any issues your having.

- Sah S 3/27/2019

What can I say? Mr. Elden is just the best there is. I had a problem and he not only resolved it, but made sure I was as comfortable as possible while it was pending. He literally handles everything, including getting up in the middle of the night and making sure you're bailed out if necessary. When you're looking for a criminal lawyer it's because you're in trouble. Whether you're innocent or not, you want the best. You want results; you need results. That's exactly what I got from Dave Elden. There's nothing better than hearing "case dismissed." I can't say he gets all cases dismissed, but he will get the best possible results, no matter what the situation is. Plus, he's really an honest lawyer who doesn't sugar coat anything. I hope I never get in any trouble again, but if I do I have Mr. Elden on speed dial!

David Elden and Premier Federal Criminal Defenders have literally saved my life from a long term prison sentence and major restitution . My sentencing comes up in August and the future is bright due to the professionalism, experience and knowledge of the system that Mr. Elden brings to the table. He was able to secure a signature bond for my release while awaiting sentencing. I was looking at 8 plus years in federal prison plus restitution of over $500,000 on a white collar bribery and fraud case. Although we don't know the outcome yet, I'm confident that my resultant sentencing will be fair and just. David and his staff has worked with me every step of the way, worked with me on payments. All in all I would highly recommend David Elden to anyone who is in trouble with the law.
