Obstruction of Justice

Diamond & Associates has extensive experience defending clients faced with the serious charge of obstruction of justice. Obstruction of justice is a crime in which an individual or group interferes with the workings of police, prosecutors, regulatory agencies or other officials. It usually applies to situations in which an individual, that is not a suspect in a case, is accused of lying while being questioned by investigating officers.

In order to be convicted, it must be proved that the individual had knowledge of the investigation and intentionally acted in order to obstruct or interfere with the investigative proceedings. It is common for the charges to be applied to alteration, concealment, or destruction of documents, or the giving of false testimony, or encouraging others to do so. Tampering with witnesses in any way can also fall under the category of obstruction of justice.
