Federal Target Letter defense requires early, careful strategy because target letters, subject letters, grand jury subpoenas, pre-indictment investigations, proffer decisions, and early defense intervention can create serious criminal, financial, professional, and reputational consequences.
Lebedin Kofman LLP represents clients in New York federal and state matters, including investigations and prosecutions connected to the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), Southern District of New York (SDNY), New York City, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and related jurisdictions.
Issues to Review Early
- whether the person is a target, subject, witness, or subpoena recipient
- the risks of speaking with agents or prosecutors before strategy is set
- document preservation, privilege, proffer agreements, negotiations, and indictment risk
Defense Strategy
The defense may involve reviewing subpoenas, warrants, discovery, financial records, agency records, witness statements, communications, expert issues, loss calculations, sentencing exposure, and collateral consequences. Early work can help preserve evidence, prevent harmful statements, narrow the issues, and position the case for dismissal, reduction, negotiation, sentencing advocacy, or trial.
Speak With Counsel
If you received a subpoena, target letter, agency contact, search warrant, arrest notice, or indictment, do not guess about your exposure. Contact Lebedin Kofman LLP before speaking with investigators or producing materials without a strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact a lawyer about federal target letters?
As early as possible. Federal and white-collar matters often begin before an arrest through subpoenas, target letters, interviews, warrants, audits, or agency contact. Early strategy can affect charging decisions, statements, documents, negotiations, and exposure.
Can federal target letters involve both civil and criminal consequences?
Yes. Many federal and white-collar matters involve parallel issues such as licensing, employment, regulatory investigations, asset exposure, immigration concerns, or civil enforcement in addition to criminal risk.
