Los Angeles Obstruction of Justice Lawyer

Beverly Hills Criminal Defense Attorney

If you or someone you know has been charged with obstruction of justice, Los Angeles defense attorney Robert M. Bernstein may be able to help you. Obstruction of justice may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony offense, depending upon the particular circumstances of the case. Either way, an individual may face a prison sentence for a conviction, along with fines and other penalties.

Most often obstruction of justice charges are filed in connection to Federal criminal investigations. This occurs when an individual lies to federal investigators during a criminal investigation. Even if you are not guilty of the underlying crime, lying to a federal agent is a separate crime in and of itself. The most well known example of this situation is celebrity Martha Stewart. While under investigation for insider stock trading, Stewart lied to investigators. Ultimately, she was convicted and sentenced to prison for Obstruction of Justice. Ironically, she was never even charged with the insider stock trading.

Additional forms of obstruction of justice include: perjury, bribing or threatening witnesses or jury members, bribing, blackmailing or threatening a judge or attorney, altering evidence, hiding evidence, destroying evidence and interfering with a police officer during the course of his official duties.

Regardless of the specific circumstances which may have led to your obstruction of justice charges, you should consult a lawyer to see what can be done to protect your rights and help you avoid a conviction.
