Preparing for Your Federal Defense Consultation

Federal cases are different from state matters. To make the most of your consultation, have the following ready if available:

  • Any target letter, grand jury subpoena, indictment, or charging documents you have received.
  • The names of any federal agencies involved — FBI, DEA, IRS-CI, SEC, DOJ, OIG, or others.
  • A brief timeline of events, including any prior contact with federal investigators or agents.
  • Your questions about the charges, federal sentencing guidelines, and what happens before your first appearance in D. Conn.

Everything you share is protected by attorney-client privilege from the moment you make contact. State court and federal court are two completely different systems — make sure you have someone who knows the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions — Connecticut Federal Defense

What should I expect during a free federal defense consultation? You will speak directly with Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy — not intake staff or a paralegal. She will review your situation, explain how federal procedure in D. Conn. applies to your specific case, discuss potential defense strategies, and answer your questions. There is no obligation to retain the firm.
Is Marin & Murphy admitted to practice in Connecticut federal court? Yes. Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy holds active admission to the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, Bar No. 31712, as well as the District of Massachusetts and the District of Rhode Island. Federal bar admission is separate from state bar admission — not every criminal defense attorney is admitted to practice in D. Conn.
I received a federal target letter in Connecticut. What should I do? Contact a D. Conn.-admitted federal defense attorney immediately. A target letter means you are the subject of a federal grand jury investigation — not merely a witness. Federal prosecutors do not send target letters unless they believe they have a case. The decisions made in the days immediately after receiving a target letter significantly affect what options remain available. Call (860) 294-4384 now.
How quickly can I speak with a federal defense attorney? The firm is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for federal matters. Call (860) 294-4384 to speak directly with the attorney. Federal charges, target letters, and grand jury subpoenas require immediate attention — do not wait for the next business day.
Is my consultation confidential? Yes. Everything you share is protected by attorney-client privilege from the moment you make contact. This applies whether you ultimately retain the firm or not.
Federal prosecutors don’t move until they’re ready to win. Early intervention — before charges are filed or before your first appearance — is when defense strategy matters most. Call (860) 294-4384 now to speak directly with a D. Conn.-admitted federal defense attorney.
