A person in receipt of a grand jury subpoena in the state of New York should immediately consult with Criminal counsel confirm The recipient of the subpoena. That is subject witness or target. That Information will impact the method or manner in which the subpoena is complied with.
If you recieve a grand jury subpoena, it is important to contact an experienced New York criminal defense lawyer. After investigating your case, the lawyer may advise you whether you need counsel to deal with the District Attorney or whether you are safe to proceed without counsel. If you are the victim of a crime and have no possible criminal exposure, generally you will not need counsel to advise you on your grand jury appearance. If you are a witness, or may have some criminal exposure, even if remote, you will likely want an attorney to intervene and speak with the assigned prosecutor.
