MARTIR LAWCRIMINAL DEFENSE

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Before You Call

The practice is limited to criminal defense: federal investigations and prosecutions, white-collar and financial crime, serious violent offenses including homicide, drug and conspiracy matters, and appellate or post-conviction proceedings where appropriate.

Seventeen years of prosecution — first in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, later as an Assistant United States Attorney in Philadelphia — means the same evidence, charging decisions, and negotiating postures a client now faces are familiar from the other side of the courtroom. That informs strategy and a realistic assessment of the government’s case.

As early as possible: after a subpoena, a search, a target letter, a request for an interview by an agent, an arrest, or any indication that you are under investigation. Decisions made before charges are filed often shape everything that follows.

Yes. Federal criminal matters are handled in federal courts throughout the United States, from offices in Pennsylvania and New York.

Any paperwork you have already received — a subpoena, complaint, indictment, target letter, search inventory, bail paperwork, or correspondence from an agency — along with dates and the names of any agencies or attorneys who have contacted you.

Telephone (215) 840-9119, or use the contact form. For urgent matters, telephone the office rather than submitting a form. Please do not send highly sensitive details until an attorney-client relationship has been established.

When the Stakes Are High, Experience Matters.

If you are facing a criminal investigation, indictment, arrest, or other serious federal or state criminal matter, contact the Law Offices of Carlos A. Martir, Jr. to discuss your situation confidentially.

Submitting a contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential or highly sensitive information until an attorney-client relationship has been established.
