Do you have questions about what will happen next? Do you know your rights?

You may be asking yourself:

"Should I go the expense of hiring a Federal Crimes Defense Lawyer?" Yes!

The moment you know you are the target of a federal criminal investigation, you need to be concerned about your rights. Contact a federal criminal defense lawyer who knows the federal system and who will represent you in the investigation and, if necessary, through the entire federal process.

At every step in the process, we will protect your rights and make sure you understand what is happening:

  • Investigation of potential criminal conduct
  • Review by U.S. attorney
  • Complaint filed

  • Preliminary hearing
  • Discovery pleadings
  • Motions filed
  • Trial (opening statements, prosecutor's case, defendant's case, prosecutor's rebuttal, closing arguments)
  • Jury deliberations
  • Verdict
  • Sentencing

At every step, our federal criminal defense attorneys look for opportunities to challenge evidence, dismiss the charges, and reduce the charges. We stay the course with our clients, always working for the client's best interests.

If you are under investigation or if you have been charged, you have the right to an attorney. Make sure you use that right. A partial list of federal crimes includes:

  • Fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, health care fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, Social Security fraud
