Introduction

When facing federal charges, you may be arrested by agents or allowed to self-surrender. Self-surrender is arranged through your attorney and allows you to turn yourself in at a scheduled time, avoiding the trauma of unexpected arrest. Both lead to booking, fingerprinting, and an initial appearance before a magistrate. Your attorney can often negotiate self-surrender terms and prepare you for the process. The US~Observer can help investigate your case and document facts that support your defense.
