Federal investigations often move slowly at first, then suddenly accelerate. Whether you’ve received a target letter, a grand jury subpoena, or simply suspect you’re under federal scrutiny, time is of the essence. The government moves quickly to build a case against you, often with extensive resources at its disposal.The best way to defend yourself is to build your defense case simultaneously. Be proactive so you aren’t surprised when you reach the courtroom.
Federal charges typically involve serious offenses such as:
● White collar crimes (wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, embezzlement)
● Drug trafficking and Kingpin prosecutions
● Sex trafficking and human trafficking
● Federal firearms violations
● Fraudulent schemes and continuing criminal enterprises (CCE)
These cases are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and involve federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, IRS, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The stakes? Felony convictions, prison time in federal facilities, asset forfeiture, career destruction, and lifelong consequences.
Choosing the right defense attorney may be the most important decision you make. Lower the stakes with Hector Diaz by your side.

“A federal case is clay before it’s indicted. Once it’s indicted, it becomes a rock. My job is to shape the narrative before the government locks it in.” – Hector Diaz, founder of Diaz Law
A target letter is a serious indication that the government is preparing to indict you. It’s crucial to act fast and strategically. Here are some guidelines:
Do not respond directly – Anything you say can be used against you.
Do not destroy evidence – This could lead to obstruction charges.
Call Diaz Law immediately – Hector will reach out to prosecutors, assess the case posture, and start building your defense.
If you’ve received a subpoena—whether to testify or produce documents—it’s essential to consult with a criminal defense attorney before responding. Your future may depend on it.
