Grand Jury Representation

Before any felony case can be tried, the accused must be indicted before a grand jury. The grand jury is a group of twelve citizens who act as a filter to determine whether the government has probable cause in the case; if nine of the twelve believe there is probable cause, an indictment is issued.

Although grand juries operate in secret and no one is allowed to speak before them but the prosecutors and their witnesses, a good defense attorney can prepare a written presentation with testimonials that can affect the grand jury's decision.

If you have been charged with a felony and are facing a grand jury, you should immediately seek out an experienced criminal defense attorney. Law Offices of Chris B. Fisher, P.A. is located in Plantation, Florida and serves surrounding counties throughout the state of Florida.
