You should not face a federal charge on your own. The federal government has unlimited resources to investigate and prosecute you. Through federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, IRS, Secret Service and the Dept. of Homeland security, the federal government can focus in on almost every aspect of an individual’s everyday life.

The federal government has the ability to intercept and listen to your phone calls, collect video evidence, place trackers on your vehicles, as well as employing many other powerful tools in an investigation. Punishments for federal crimes can be severe. In some cases, there are mandatory – minimum sentences that cannot be negotiated.

Federal investigations are complex and serious. Often Federal investigations take months and sometimes years. Federal agents are thorough and aggressive when building a case against an individual. If you are in any way suspicious that the federal government may be investigating you then it is time to consult with an attorney that is experience in handling federal court cases. Only an experienced federal defense attorney can ensure that your rights are protected and aggressively defend you against the federal government.

A vast majority of federal crimes involve illegal activity that crosses state lines, involves the internet, or involves federal agencies such as federal banks or the postal service. Some examples of federal crimes are:

• Drug trafficking
• Money Laundering
• Bank Fraud
• Wire Fraud
• Identity Theft
• Mail Fraud
• Possession of child pornography
• Tax Evasion
• Bank Robbery
• Racketeering (RICO)
• Tax Evasion
