Cases involving violations of federal law usually involve federal agencies like the FBI, ATF, or the DEA. As a result, an investigation using surveillance, wire tapping, review of financial transactions, and information gathered from informants is usually involved. By the time authorities charge someone with committing a federal crime, there is usually a substantial body of evidence in place, as well as witnesses ready to testify for the government. However, in more instances than the government would like to admit, federal investigations often raise serious questions regarding whether or not a suspect's Constitutional rights were violated, whether informants can be trusted, and whether authorities themselves aided and abetted the very crimes they were supposed to prevent.

Federal Crimes and Mandatory Sentencing
Since some federal crimes carrying with them mandatory sentences, judges and prosecutors don't always have the discretion necessary to consider plea bargains. As a result, federal prosecutors are more inclined to do everything necessary to convict someone suspected of or charged with committing a federal crime. Consequently, even if you are only under investigation for committing a federal crime, it is essential that you consult an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately.
During federal investigations, our attorneys subject every move by authorities to thorough legal scrutiny, challenging the Constitutional grounds of search warrants, wiretaps, surveillance, confronting suspicion and allegations early on in the process. In some cases, our office may be able to exclude a client from a list of suspects simply by making it more difficult for authorities to gather circumstantial evidence against them.
