Federal Criminal Defense & White Collar Crimes

Being charged with a federal crime is serious. Commonly referred to as white collar crime, federal crimes carry harsher sentences, fines, and restitution requirements, than state level offenses. Due to the complexity of the United States Sentencing Guidelines and other applicable laws, experienced representation is  demanded.

 

The biggest challenge that you will face in a federal criminal case, is the opposing party, the United States government. Prosecutors often use threats of additional charges, the arrest of friends and family members, and the seizure of property, in order to pressure defendants into not going to trial. No matter the charge, we believe in reviewing the discovery, and obtaining independent evidence, before advising a client to enter into a plea agreement or proceed to trial.

 

During our initial meeting, you will be educated on the tactics that government prosecutors often use so that you will be prepared for every stage of your case. Click here to learn more about each stage of a federal criminal case.

Federal criminal cases are complicated. Federal drug cases often include issues such as:

  • Ghost dope – Drugs that were never found or possessed.

  • Wiretaps – Actual recordings of your telephone calls and text messages.

  • Confidential Source/Informant – People that provide information regarding alleged criminal activities to the government. These individuals are often times paid by law enforcement for information, or are facing criminal charges themselves, and are providing information in exchange for a reduced sentence.

  • Testifying Co-Defendant – Individuals charged in the same indictment, that testify against others in the indictment, potentially in exchange for a reduced sentence.

  • Cellphone Download- A digital version of everything in your cellphone. Often times, if the government has your physical cellphone, a prosecutor will ask the judge for a search warrant in order to extract all of the data from your phone. Cellphone downloads are typically thousands of pages, and include the text messages, pictures, contacts, and app data that is in your phone.

  • Cellphone Records-A record of the calls and text messages sent and received from a specific telephone number. Cellphone records include the date, time, and duration of each call.

  • Cellphone Location Data- The location of the cell phone tower a cellphone pinged to, at a given point and time. The government requests this information from your cell phone provider.
