Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Generally speaking, in an FTC inquiry / investigation one doesn't necessarily have the constitutional rights in the way most lay people perceive constitutional rights to be. An FTC investigation is not subject to jury a trial and one should not wait to a law suit or criminal charges to be filed to clear one's name. That is a very risky (and costly) strategy.

If a court case (criminal or civil) is already pending -- then you better have an attorney by your side. If the FTC is simply investigating and is asking for additional evidence, then you may have a chance to deal with the investigation and come to some sort of a satisfactory resolution with the FTC and maybe even clear your name before any charges are filed.

If you require help in this matter please contact me off line.

This is a rather ridiculous question for which the only answer is who knows? We have zero facts offered here. What are they accusing you of? If it is serious enough you can not only be penalized civilly but perhaps criminally.

You should be calling around lawyers at this point, explaining your situation and getting a sense for how you need to approach this based on your specific situation.

You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
