If you are being investigated for a crime that involves multiple defendants ? who allegedly worked together on a specific scheme, chances are you are facing federal charges. Unlike the state judicial system, Federal judges are appointed by the President of the United States with Senate confirmation and follow strict guidelines on procedure and punishment. In fact, if convicted of a federal crime, a defendant will serve his or her entire sentence, and parole is not an option. This is specifically why early intervention by an expert federal criminal defense team is so important.

Because of the formality and unforgiving nature of federal proceedings, it is critical that you retain a lawyer backed by a powerful firm with significant experience in dealing with the sensitivities of the federal system. Our federal litigators have nearly 40 years experience in successfully defending clients that have been accused or charged with involvement in federal criminal matters .

If you are contacted by any of the federal authorities in relation to a criminal investigation: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United States Secret Service, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), United States Marshals Service, Criminal Division of the IRS (CID), the United States Postal Service, or the Bureau of Alcohol, and Firearms, be aware that they could be considering you as a potential witness or, worse yet, as a suspect.

Our federal experts can help you assess the nature and purpose of an investigation by federal authorities so that you can avoid common traps or pitfalls that can erringly lead to disaster.
