Federal Criminal Defense

Federal criminal cases are among the most complex and high-stakes legal matters a person can face. The federal system operates under a different set of rules than state courts, with cases prosecuted by highly skilled Assistant U.S. Attorneys who have extensive resources at their disposal.

Federal investigations often begin long before charges are filed, with agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, and IRS conducting thorough investigations that can include wiretaps, financial audits, and surveillance. By the time a federal indictment is returned, the government has typically built a strong case, making early and aggressive legal representation critical.

Unlike state prosecutions, federal cases involve often harsh sentencing guidelines promulgated by the U.S. Sentencing Commission, mandatory minimum sentences for many offenses, and no opportunities for parole.

For example, drug trafficking offenses often carry severe penalties, with certain facts triggering a mandatory minimum in federal prison. White-collar crimes, such as fraud and embezzlement, can result in decades-long sentences due to loss calculations that increase punishment severity.

Without an attorney well-versed in federal procedures and sentencing advocacy, defendants risk facing the harshest possible outcomes.
