If federal agents show up at your door

[00:00:00]Learning you're under federal investigation, that's a bad day. If federal agents show up at your door unannounced, especially early in the morning, it's a clear signal that you need to remember [music] three simple words. What are they? Let's talk about it. Look, agents do this on purpose. The early morning visit is a psychological tactic designed to catch you off guard and make you more likely to talk. And here's the thing, agents may even tell you you're not the focus of the investigation. They'll say they just want to ask a few questions about someone else. That's a lie. If they're at your door, you are already on their radar. Federal investigations can run for years without you ever knowing. By the time they're knocking, they've already built most of their case. So, the moment you see that badge at your door, you know exactly what's happening.

[00:00:45]But, don't make the one critical mistake. The worst thing you can do is talk to them without a lawyer present.

[00:00:51]So, what are those three simple words to remember? Lawyer first, [music] always.
