Houston Lawyer for Grand Jury Proceedings

For many people, a grand jury investigation can be a mysterious and scary process. At the Houston Law Offices of Dyer & Libby, I offer accomplished legal representation. For more than 40 years, I have been focused on achieving the best results in criminal legal matters. When you are facing a grand jury proceeding, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible results under the law.

Grand Jury Proceedings - How Lawyers Protect Your Rights

The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution requires an indictment to charge a person with a federal felony, unless the person waives his or her right to be indicted. Grand juries are powerful secret proceedings that determine whether enough evidence or probable cause exists to indict a person or organization, bringing federal criminal charges against them. Grand juries can also refuse to indict a person if there is not sufficient evidence to charge him or her with a crime.

Your lawyer cannot be in the grand jury room with you, but he or she can still make a significant difference in your situation. At the Law Offices of Dyer & Libby, I help my clients protect their rights in grand jury proceedings. The most frequent way that people lose their rights is by not knowing what those rights are. When people are subpoenaed or invited to testify, they often believe they can handle the situation alone. My well-qualified legal team helps you understand exactly what your rights are in a grand jury proceeding - and I take every measure possible under the law to protect them.
