Handling Grand Jury Proceedings
Our firm's Maryland grand jury proceeding attorneys skillfully represent clients before grand juries accused of committing serious offenses, such as:
- White collar crimes
- Medicaid and Medicare fraud
- Sex crimes
- Violent crimes
In addition to traditional police investigations, grand jury proceedings are used to indict a suspect based on a probable cause that he or she committed the crime. Prosecutors have the power to decide which witnesses will be called to testify, question the witnesses and have the control to determine if immunity will be granted. The prosecutor then presents the case to the grand jury. After the grand jury deliberates in secret, the grand jury will conclude if the prosecution established a probable cause to believe the accused committed the crime.
At Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, P.A., our firm's defense lawyers know how to effectively handle grand jury proceedings so jurors hear more than the version of facts presented by the prosecution. We are skilled investigators prepared to illustrate any false or contradictory evidence obtained against you. Part of our role includes demonstrating any evidence that would be in your favor. We will also seek to call any witnesses to testify on your behalf. If we are able to secure a favorable decision in a grand jury proceeding, the case against you will be over.
